Visualize relationships between branches based on changesets

I'd like to see an overview graph of branches to determine how branches were created, merged or synchronized. Actually I have to find the right changeset to get the same information. When working with a lot of branches like we do (feature-driven development) it would be very helpful to obtain rapidly an overview of latest actvitities among the branches (especially for synchronizing branches).The graph could be visualized as DGML and rendered in Visual Studio.

        We have some ideas for visualizations that could help users better understand relationships and how changes are flowing through the system, though we've intentionally tried to keep our visualizations from becoming overly complex. IMHO, the Version Browser of ClearCase can easily become overwhelming, diminishing its usefulness. I think the right solution lies in the balance of information displayed to the user.
