A colleague (and thus also me) had a (usability) problem some days ago which could be related to this: After synchronizing/pulling he was told that he had two heads. IIRC it wasn't obvious in the UI which two heads it was. I assume that integrating with the changelog tool is one way to make it more obvious. In this situation it would however be more interesting to see just the heads/leaves instead of the whole log/tree. The main usability problem was however to find out how to merge the two heads. We found no obvious way to do it, and we ended up doing it by locating one of the heads in the changelog tool and selecting merge in the right-click menu. It would be really nice if the gui somehow guided the user to do a merge after a pull has given an extra head. Perhaps you can have this usecase in mind while designing the merged tool. /Mads ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
