CVSTreeGraph
CVS revision history, finally readable.
CVS repositories don't stay small forever.
WinCVS and TortoiseCVS work fine when history fits on screen. But as branches multiply and the repository grows over years, the graph becomes unreadable, operations lag, and you end up constantly switching between tools just to understand what happened to a file.
CVSTreeGraph is built for those repositories — the ones that have been around long enough to accumulate real history.
Graph layouts that scale
Compact or extended view, collapsible branches, automatic tag grouping — smooth navigation with no lag or flickering, even on histories spanning decades. Hover any node to see the commit message, author, and timestamp without leaving the graph.
Blame with context
Syntax-highlighted code with revision info in the gutter — revision number, author, and date visible as you read. Click any line's revision to jump directly to that node in the graph. Annotation updates automatically as you navigate the history.
Compare without switching tools
Side-by-side or unified diff, always synchronized with the selected graph node. Compare with the previous revision, the working copy, or a pinned baseline. Pin any revision to use as a fixed reference while you navigate the history freely.
Define once, apply everywhere
Pin a merge interval directly on the graph — mark the "Merge From" and "Merge To" revisions, then reuse that same interval across multiple branches. No manual revision number reconstruction, no tool switching, no lost context.
Also included
Working copy preview
Uncommitted local changes appear as a virtual node directly in the graph — see where your edits sit relative to the full history before you commit.
Auto-refresh
Graph, annotate, and diff update automatically after every commit, update, or merge. No manual reload, no stale views.
Windows Explorer integration
Optional shell extension adds "Open in CVSTreeGraph" to the Explorer context menu. Drag and drop files directly onto the application window.
