The output of "git log --graph --first-parent" seems weird. Maybe it's because I don't understand everything but here's an example anyway: $ git log --graph --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --decorate M 2ba1dba... (refs/heads/master) Merge branch 'topic' |\ | * 432e062... (refs/heads/topic) Change from branch 'topic' * | b762236... Change from branch 'master' |/ * d7fb80a... Initial commit Normal --first-parent prints this: $ git log --first-parent --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit 2ba1dba... Merge branch 'topic' b762236... Change from branch 'master' d7fb80a... Initial commit With --graph it goes: $ git log --graph --first-parent --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit M 2ba1dba... Merge branch 'topic' |\ * | b762236... Change from branch 'master' * | d7fb80a... Initial commit / So, it prints the second parent line but it leads to nowhere. Try the same with the git repository and you'll see a _lots_ of parallel branch lines which seem to go nowhere. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
