Launching Revtool

Right-click on the white background of your Explorer window.
Click BitKeeper -> Revision Tool...


The revtool will pop up with the revision history of our repository. When revtool is called on a repo without a specific file, it will show the history of the entire repo, which is all of the changesets that have been committed. We're not looking at per-file commits here, we're looking at things from the perspective of the csets. This is where your changeset comments come in handy for browsing back through the history. Let's take a look at the revtool and what all of that stuff means.


The revtool is arranged with a revision graph on the top and then a description window on the bottom. When revtool is run on a repository, the default configuration is to show the last 50 csets along with their descriptions down in the bottom window. You should see the previous commits in the repo as well as the new commit that we just made to the far right on the graph. You can see down in the bottom window that our last commit is on top of the history.
