Graphical history browser
One feature which the GUI for ClearCase had which was really good, was a graphical history browser which would show you a file (or directory) history with boxes and lines drawn on the screen. I think it used dotted lines for merges.
Is there anything similar out there for Subversion?

Rock and roll! Thanks, Ramaswamy. That's a really cool thing to be
aware of.

I was exploring GraphViz (http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/
) a while back - it could be used to implement a xclearcase like version
tree with bubbles etc. IIRC, there is a python binding as well.

We track no merge history (save for the fact that merged adds are done
as copies). Copy and Move operations can be traced backwards. See
the 'svnlook history' subcommand, for example.
Note that history can only be traced backwards right now. So while
you can follow one "tong" of a fork all the way back to the end of the
"handle", you'll have a hard time finding out that there are 4 such
tongs available.
And that's all I have say regarding that bad analogy. :-)

red lines, I think.

BTW, are the 'copy', 'move' and 'merge' operations are kept in the SVN repository in a way that
a graphical tool could track back the whole history of a file ?

Nuh-uh. Not yet.
(Though I've started much of the dirty work here, as far as the data
manipulation standpoint goes.)
