For projects with separate history lines and, thus, multiple root-commits, the
linear arrangement of `git log --graph --oneline` does not allow the user to
spot where the sequence ends, giving the impression that it's a contiguous
history. E.g.
History sequence A: a1 -- a2 -- a3 (root-commit)
History sequence B: b1 -- b2 -- b3 (root-commit)
git log --graph --oneline
* a1
* a2
* a3
* b1
* b2
* b3
In a GUI tool, the root-commit of each series would stand out on the graph.
This modification changes the commit char to a different symbol ('o'), so users
of the command-line graph tool can easily identify root-commits and make sense
of where each series is limited to.
git log --graph --oneline
* a1
* a2
o a3
* b1
* b2
o b3
The 'o' character was chosen because it is the same character used in rev-list
to mark root commits.
This patch is similar than the one provided by Milton Soares Filho in
1382734287.31768.1.git.send.email.milton.soares.filho@xxxxxxxxx but was
implemented independently and uses the 'o' character instead of 'x'.
Other solutions were discarded for those reasons:
* line delimiters: we want to keep one commit per line
* tree indentation: it makes little sense with commit trees without
common history, and is more complicated to implement
