In git it is possible to show an ASCII graph of the log with git log --graph which outputs a commandline graph something like:

* 040cc7c       (HEAD, master) Mannual is NOT built by default
* a29ceb7       Removed offensive binary file that was compiled on my machine
| * 901c7dd     (cvc3) cvc3 now configured before building
| * d9e8b5e     More sane Yices SMT solver caller
| | * 5b98a10   (nullvars) All uninitialized variables get zero inits
| |/
| * 1cad874     CFLAGS for cvc3 to work succesfully
|/
* d642f88       Option -aliasstat, by default stats are suppressed
  • Is this also possible with ClearCase / ClearTool when using the lsstream or lsvtree commands, without the need to open a GUI?

Since I couldn't find anything that suited me, I created my own python script with this ability. It is still a little rough, but works for me.

For anyone interested, it is available here as a github gist

With command line, you have cleartool lsvtree.

If you want the history to focus on the branch you currently are (instead of starting by default at /main), you need to use the -bra/nch branch-pname option.

Starts the version tree listing at the specified branch.
You can also use an extended name as the pname argument (for example, foo.c@@\main\bug405) to start the listing at a particular branch.

But if you need additional information like the author, then you would need to fallback to cleartool lshistory: see "How to ask cleartool lsvtree to show the author's name"
