This idea intrigues me, showing a changeset as the state of the directory tree at it's parent, plus the modifications committed.. so modified files would have modified icons, added files would have plus signs, etc. We would need to add Adrian's proposal of showing the current working tree as a "proto-changeset" in the graph, at which point the commit tool almost becomes superfluous. If we could cram a 2way visual diff viewer in there, we'd be in revision history heaven. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
