Branch/Merge Reconciliation Tracking

[bjs]

We want to be able to track changes so that we can make sure that appropriate changes have been merged between code lines (trunk and any branches).

We want a better way of making sure that changes get merged and into the build -- that is, don't fall through the cracks. Ideally, we would like to produce a report that shows what changesets exist in what code lines by date range. For example:

Code: Select all

Date: 1/1/2007 – 1/4/2007           User: ALL

              Trunk        Branch1       Branch2 ...
Changeset     Code line    Code line     Code line
------------------------------------------------------
    1             X                          X
   46                          X
   47             X            X
   etc...

Here, the X indicates the presence of the changeset in the code line -- it might be replaced with the commit or merge date. The changeset check-in comment might be another column. In addition to filtering by date, being able to filter based on developer (User, above) is also something we want to be able to do.

It seems like this would be a common requirement. How are other folks out there handling this kind of tracking?
