VCS branching diagram

At last I have found a tool which makes branch diagrams easy enough to be formalized : yED It takes a couple seconds getting used to the UI: clicking drops a node by default, dragging creates an edge (at first you create a few unwanted nodes and edges) they have a very friendly palette system which allows you to define a node or edge archetype in a few cliks. Once you have defined you palette this is what you can get in a couple minutes: Alignement is handled automatically through the use of yED layouts. there are many many options, and I couldn't get it to do exactly what I wanted yet but I haven't read any doc either :) Definitely a tool I'll remeber for network and graph visualisation
