RE: RE: 1.3.0 RC1 or RC2 - no revision graph with SSH access

I agree (having been a ClearCase and Perforce admin in the past) that
having the option to show all revisions in the graph would be neato. The
graph (nice redesign, by the way!) does give a lot of useful
information, but sometimes you really do want to see each submit, too. I
think it would be cool to have it default to the way it is now, but
maybe have a right click menu item that says 'gimme more info' that will
build the whole, possibly huge, all-commits-including graph. The
end-user would have to weigh the value of the graph vs the time it takes
to construct, but it could be useful, that's for sure.

I can see this is a philosophical argument in a sense, so I don't have a
major problem with the way it is.

I have just got somewhat used to the ClearCase graphical version tree
for looking at revisions of a file.

While you can make this show you all revisions on all branches ever,
this is not the default because, as you rightly
point out, on a significantly complex project this would be a huge
forest of versions and branches all over the place
and not always useful. It is, however, *sometimes* useful, so it is
possible to do this.

By default, it shows you the collapsed revision graph. This is the
revision of the branch you are looking at, plus the
latest versions on active branches, plus any previous versions which
were created as a result of merges from other
branches. Ccase reckons that versions which were created by merging from
other branches are more "significant" than
incremental versions on a branch.

So this is I suppose quite close to what the revision graph in TSVN will
show me ... Once I branch a file a few times,
that is.
Experiments continuing. I am not in any way knocking svn or TSVN at all,
I am actively trying to figure out how to fit
it into our current workflow.

Thanks
Liam
