SVN Client Tools that make use of svn:mergeinfo?
Howdy-
I was wondering if there are any current SVN 1.5-aware client tools that
can use svn:mergeinfo to draw merging graphs similar to those drawn
ClearCase Explorer
(http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/developer-resources/guis/pics/ClearCase
-lsvtree-1.gif).
Cheers,
Joe

I built off trunk and installed; very impressed. Slightly less impressed that after all the hassle of building it myself Subclipse has now been released with the new revision graph built in ;-)
Seriously though, nice job.

Yes. You'd have to build it yourself though. I will be packaging it
pretty soon, so best to just wait. It is similar to TortoiseSVN in
that it builds a local cache so that performance is not awful. Of
course building the cache is fairly slow.

Hi Mark
I've not found one either; I have set it up locally, however, and it was fairly straightforward (basically SVN 1.5 + Python + Trac + a few Python libraries). I do tend to think it's overkill, though, in non-Trac environments. We use JIRA at work and there's no way I'd bother promoting a Trac-solution just for a graph that is only marginally more useful than TortoiseSVN's graph (we've only recently moved to SVN 1.5 so merge-tracving is still a mystery to many users).
Since we also use Subclipse I'm very interested in your work; is it stable enough for interested parties (like me!) to test?
Cheers

Can you point to any public Trac sites that use that plugin? I've
tried in vain to find one and have never found one.
We are working on this in Subclipse and will release it soon. Getting
the merge information is currently too slow though.

You could take a look at Trac's RevTreePlugin (http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/RevtreePlugin) - however it "...shows branch cloning/tagging operations, and _can_be_extended_ to render other kinds of operations such as merging" (my _emphasis_) so it may need some hacking. If Trac would be overkill (e.g. you already have an issue tracker) you could possibly adapt the plugin's source for your own needs?
