That feature of WinCVS is neat. I admit that. But: CVS is _very_
different to Subversion. Subversion has revisions which contain _all_
the data of one commit, including the changes of _all_ files in that
commit. CVS on the other hand stores the revisions file-wise.
So: such a feature is not possible/useless in Subversion. And also: it
would take a _very_ long time and require a _lot_ of network traffic to
get all the information needed for such a graph.
