RE: Should TortoiseSvn be showing merges in Revision Graphs ?

Can I also request that it be added. Default can be off if that’s safer.
I think my histories are generally quite simple so I’d not expect to hit performance problems from complex merges.
If it proves widely useful and there are genuine performance problems then perhaps something will be possible server-side to help.

I am seeking to test whether cvs2svn is doing a suitable accurate job of converting my old Cvsnt repos to Subversion, and I’d feel happier if I could see merges easily.

Unfortunately this looks like another case where Subversion is slightly less good than CVS(NT), where, since the history of any given file is held together, all the history can very easily be delivered together to the GUI for it to display the merge data.

Regards,
Richard.

Subject: Re: Should TortoiseSvn be showing merges in Revision Graphs ?

It's a feature that has been requested several times in the past, and rejected, so no it's not currently possible in TortoiseSVN. Eclipse has a couple plugins to do this.

It has been rejected in the past with "it would take to long to get and parse all the information" even though svn mergeinfo already provides a similar view. I think the reasoning had to do with problems of scale when there are lots and lots of branches, since each branch would need to check each other branch's merge info, hitting the server each time. OTOH "svn mergeinfo" only ever needs to get information about two branches.

Still, I'd also really like to see this feature implemented, even if turned off by default, with the knowledge that it can take a really long time in some repositories.

Should TortoiseSvn be showing merges in some way in the Revision Graph display ?
When I view a Revision Graph for a file I would expect to be seeing arrows to represent merges, but I don’t seem to be seeing anything. Nor seeing a configuration to enable them.

Is this feature present and I just can’t see it ? Or is it actually not available ?

I’m used to using TortoiseCVS (the CVSNT version) which does show merges (as pink arrows)
Here are some images snipped from that as examples, though I'm not sure if this list supports them.

In the first example, the arrow represents an Undo, where 1.30 is to be undone. The merge acts so that 1.31 will actually be the same as 1.29.
The second example shows a couple of merges back to the Trunk/Head. 1.27.2.10 is merged to 1.28 and 1.29.2.1 is merged to 1.30.
The last example is to fix a "whoops I didn't intend to commit that to the trunk" situation. 1.4 was committed to the Trunk by mistake. There is then an Undo Merge back to 1.3. The mistaken commit is then merged onto a new branch as 1.5.2.1.

Richard.
