Change history visualization tools?

[Christopher Nuzum]

Thanks for everyone's replies.  I'm glad to see there are some nice  
tools out there.

Here's a follow-up question: has anyone contemplated making any of  
these tools work for a single branch, like hg log -b [branchanme]?

We have several active branches, and it would be very nice to be able  
to run, for example, 'hg glog -b r41', 'hg view -b r40', etc.

Thanks!

Chris
