This is pretty much unrelated to which level of details should be the default, isn't it? I do agree that --graph should be more intelligent around the root commits when showing two or more unrelated lines of histories. Something like [*1*] from discussion in 2013 (not the patch that started the thread, for reasons stated in the thread, but ideas offered as alternative design in the discussion) would be the right way to solve it and it would work with all the log formatting options, whether --oneline, --pretty=medium, etc. [Reference] *1* http://public-inbox.org/git/1382717268-21884-1-git-send-email-milton.soares.filho@xxxxxxxxx/
