Hi

Is there a nice way to visualize the history of Monticello repository? In
particular, I would like to be able to quickly identify the presence of
branching/merging.

Consider the screenshot above. Without a graphical visualizer, it is hard to
tell that LanguageOfLanguages-NC.42.mcz and LanguageOfLanguages-jamie.42.mcz
branched out from LanguageOfLanguages-jamie.41.mcz. Their names might hint
that they do (because of the "42") but that isn't always reliable.

Additionally, without a graphical visualizer, it is also impossible to tell
that I did a merge in LanguageOfLanguages-NC.50.mcz unless I look at the
commit message and check the ancestors.

If no graphical visualizer exists, how do Smalltalkers normally check for
branching/merging?


Did you know about Torch?
