Time lapse view should specify current line when possible

[tom-seddon]

When possible - so, definitely at least when invoked from an editor tab - invoke as p4vc -l LINE FILE. The -l flag opens the time lapse view with the given line highlighted, and also enables line numbers by default.

PR to hopefully follow at some point.

Is it easy to add stuff to the right click menu?

Looks like the line numbers column isn't clickable, so that's a shame.

Anyway, maybe this could be at least a partial solution for #11. Though the -l option only works for the first invocation for a given file. (p4vc will re-use the window for subsequent invocations, but the -l option doesn't work.) So not much fun if you want quick history for a bunch of lines.

Oh great, the original aim was to do this but I didn't know the commandline and got side tracked.

It should be easy enough to add a right-click if you can find the correct ID, it will most likely start with IDM_VS_CTXT_. You can then add it to the command table (.vsct).

For #11 I was going to use p4 annotate which gets the revision/user/data/CL/etc for each line of the file. I just don't know the best way to integrate into the IDE that isn't intrusive and has zero performance impact.
