The --simplify-by-decoration option to git log is a great way to view
branch topology. However, it is a bit misleading because it does not
necessarily show branch points. For example, I have a repository that
looks like:
* 6045d25 (HEAD, master) 3
| * 8daa592 (branch) 2.1
|/
* a4da73a 2
* 014106d (tag: v1) 1
This is from "git log --decorate --all --graph --oneline". If I add
--simplify-by-decoration, I get
* 6045d25 (HEAD, master) 3
| * 8daa592 (branch) 2.1
|/
* 014106d (tag: v1) 1
Note it appears as though the branch point is 014106d, when it's really
014106d. I would love to see an option like --simplify-by-decoration
that also selects branch points for display, maybe
--simplify-by-branch-point. (It should be possible to combine it with
--simplify-by-decoration.)
Is there anything like this?
