[p4] graphical representation of branches?

[Paul Goffin]

Branch specifications don't offer anything useful - they're only a
template for a changelist and aren't required to actually carry out a
braching operation.

As a result, you can't "trust" them in establishing history.

Subject: [p4] graphical representation of branches?


Hello all you fellow P4'ers

I want to create a graphical representation of all the branches that a
product of ours has gone through.  I know that P4 doesn't provide this
functionality natively, so I was wondering if anyone in the P4 community
has developed such a tool.  Before somebody says, "don't forget the
'Revision Graph ...' functionality in P4V", yes, that's great, but it's
just for a specific file, not for branches.

I was thinking that the branch specifications would be a good data
source for this information (from, to, date, reason, name, etc).

So, has anyone already developed such a tool?  If not and I need to
write such a tool, is branch specifications the appropriate data source?

Thanks

JDG
