Who in the right mind would use --graph at the same time to > begin with ;-)? Exactly :) I have an alias "lg = log --graph" and I almost always use that instead of the normal log. Then I accidentally noticed that my "git lg" doesn't quite fit with --first-parent. > We could turn --graph automatically off if --first-parent is given, > but I tend to agree with you that the right behaviour is to show the > same "everything prefixed with '| ', wasting two columns without good > reason" output as you would see on a true linear history. To me it's perfectly fine to turn off --graph when used with --first-parent, but yes, generally users might expect to see a line of M's, *'s and |'s there. At least it would clearly show which commits are merges and which are not. -- 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
