I agree to all of the above, including the ugliness of 'x' ;-)
A "blank" may however be hard to spot, if the range is limited,
though. For example,
$ git log --graph --oneline a4..
* HEAD
/* a1
| * a2
| * a3
* b1
* b2
* b3
where "a4", which is a root, is the sole parent of "a3" and HEAD is
a merge between "a1" and "b1" might produce something like this,
while we may get this from the same history, when shown unlimited:
$ git log --graph --oneline
* HEAD
/* a1
| * a2
| * a3
| * a4
|
* b1
* b2
* b3
A divider line might make it visually a lot more strong, i.e.
$ git log --graph --oneline
* HEAD
/* a1
| * a2
| * a3
| * a4
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* b1
* b2
* b3
but I am not sure if it is too distracting.
