Are there any good desktop linux tools for viewing a bazaar branch's history?


For viewing diffs, I use the excellent Meld tool. But when it comes to looking at earlier revisions, I usually just find myself looking at the branch in Launchpad, where my code is hosted. Are there are good desktop tools for allowing me to do this? Ideally, Olive's "History Mode" should do the trick, but it just gives me errors when I try to switch to History Mode.

I prefer Gtk tools, but I'm open to anything.


Solution

  • I've not been that impressed with the Gtk tools, but the Qt tools for Bazaar are excellent. Try Bazaar Explorer with QBzr: they're very usable and give a good means of looking through the history.

    To install the latest versions with Bazaar, do this:

    cd ~/.bazaar/plugins
    bzr branch lp:bzr-explorer explorer
    bzr branch lp:qbzr
