I disagree.  If you are doing --first-parent, you do not _care_ what is
merge and what is not.  Besides, you can easily see that from the log
message if you cared enough.

And if the graph actually draws the real ancestry graph (i.e. without
--first-parent), the lines visually show which is merge and which is not,
so the "M" gets very distracting.

I'd really suggest changing the "M" and use "*" everywhere.
