Here is an even more concrete example: $ git log --oneline --abbrev-commit --graph --simplify-by-decoration --branches='hotfix' I get the following results: https://i.imgur.com/arHJss8.png These results are incredibly confusing... I expected to see the first line of the log results to be a branch matching 'hotfix' at the very least. Maybe my question is more of a symptom of confusion about a different problem. In any case, sorry for the confusion and hopefully someone can clarify for me. I must be missing something basic.
