looking a little bit more into this, I was very suprised....
there seems to be little/no tools in the git ecosystem that studies the dependencies between commits based on the file they modified and/or the conflict they would cause.
Is there any pre-existing tool to do that ? It can be done with git-log --name-only(the graph_git.pl is just a graphing layer above that command) but i'm suprised that I couldn't find anything else
And that was at the file level, is there any tool to help find what commits can be reordered without causing conflicts ? I am not sure if there is an easy way to extract potential conflict information from git...
