I think that the earlier name "show linear-break" is more easily
understood than the new name, but maybe that is just me.  It's not
like you are blocking something from going forward with a barrier,
and internally it is called a "break-bar".

Each time get_revision() returns a commit, it is inspected and
opt->linear is updated, this function is called and we show the
break in the single-strand-of-pearls if this is not a parent of the
commit we showed immediately before.  If we are showing the commit
in reverse, we have to go the other way around, showing the commit
and then the break.

OK.  It makes sense to me.

Does this new feature interact with -z format output in any way?
Should it, and if so how?

We are showing commit, and the parents (after history
simplification) of the commit we showed before this commit is kept
in previous-parents.  If we are one of them, we are showing
linearly, which makes sense.  While we are accumulating the output
in the forward direction in preparation for later emitting them in
reverse, we need to save away the linear-ness bit somewhere, and a
slab is a logical place to save that, which also makes sense.  But
why do you need a full int?  Doesn't an unsigned char wide enough?

I also wondered if the saved-parents slab we already have can be
easily reused for this, but it probably would not help.

I do not quite understand the "if we do not have previous parents"
bit, though.  Is it meant to trigger only at the very beginning?

Thanks.
