For those who are interested, I have created a branch viewer that graphically depicts the merges and branches between files. I was going to do this in Java (as explained by message below), but instead did it in Perl using GD/GD.pm (1.8.4/1.33). It creates a PNG and an imagemap that can be used to link to changelists and diffs (it's compatible with P4DB, at least the older one).

My problem is that I tried to put it onto the Perforce public/guest depot, but I always got permission denied when trying add the file. My client/user appear to be setup correctly. Am I missing something?

However, if anyone wants to see the output, here is a link to one a page with the PNG file (note the image is 1600x5526 pixels...):

The script itself is at: http://www.ultranet.com/~tshort/branches.zip

Enjoy!

Cool. Here's a suggestion. Add an option to collapse multiple versions with no interleaving branches/merges in order to reduce the picture size.
