Hi Pratyush, Thanks for trying it out and the detailed feedback I will investigate this slow initial load on some git/kernel projects, though I have to admit, it appeared fast on maybe simpler/smaller projects. Gitk/git log seems to handle this without issues, so thats a clue for me > The log for git-gui is missing some merge commits like d32e065 and > 2763530 but then it shows some other merges like 69fdb92.

I have to check this inconsistency further vs Git-gui (also there are some additional options in the GitVine Edit Menu - Show first parent & Show all. This may influence the visibility of some commits) Thanks again for feedback & gives me much encouragement.
