Now that you have found the version of the line you want, you might want more information about what was happening when this change was made. This information can be helpful in tracking down the root cause of a bug.

Click on View Changeset at the top of bk revtool.

A new window, labeled Cset Tool, should appear. This window has 4 panes.

• The top left pane is the list of files in this changeset; you can click on a file to make it active.
• The bottom two windows show the before and after versions of the active file. You can move through the diffs by pressing the spacebar.
• The top right file has the changeset checkin comments followed by the checkin comments for the active file.

Browse around in the changeset viewer. Try clicking the files, moving through diffs, etc.

When you are done, click Quit in all BitKeeper windows.

At this point you should now be familiar with viewing repository and file revision history using bk revtool.
