There's several viewers for the monotone revisin management system.
One is used on a public-access repository server; see 
http://mtn-host.prjek.net/ , pick a project ( I suggest "monotone" 
which has a lot of branch structure), click on its project info page 
link, click on "Source browser", and there you are.

By the way, monotone is distributed, and allows multiple heads in a 
branch.
