Working With the Member History View
By default, the member history view displays two panels: a panel showing the path of development, and a panel showing details for a selected revision. In order for information to display in the details panel, you must select a checkpoint in the GUI or click a checkpoint number in the Revision column in the Web interface.
In the GUI, you can toggle between a graphical view and a list view by clicking View > List or View > Graphical.
Graphical Member History view
The information in the graphical view shows the path of development from revision to revision, including branches and merge lines.
In the graphical view, some revision IDs may be truncated to improve readability and visual layout. To show full revision IDs, select View > Show Full Revision IDs.
You can change the information that displays beside each graphical revision by selecting View > Show beside each node. If summary information is not displayed in the view, it displays in a tooltip when you place your mouse pointer on a specific revision. The available selections are:
