good thing :-)

What I actually - while doing quite lazy computer-less vacation - tried
to find is a nice tool to 
a) visualize commits that have been merged (most tools do this the other
   way round only ("this commit is a merge coming from there") and
b) comment on commits that they should be reviewed deeper/should
   be/won't be merged

The best I found is a stupid spreadsheet and random (custom) svn
properties and some scripting, but that's some pain, too.

As I think without such a tool it ends in a mess, anybody knows such a
tool which works on unix or linux systems?


some background: Initially I thought about doing this strictly
chronically but this won't work for fixes which should be merged but
aren't 100% complete, yet and similar cases.
 
Thanks,
johannes
