Subject: [GSoC PATCH WIP RFC v3 2/3] graph: truncate graph visual output
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 21:38:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322203801.637769-2-pabloosabaterr@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260322203801.637769-1-pabloosabaterr@gmail.com>
Teach graph statuses to stop rendering and add the truncation mark
'.' once they are writing over the lane limit, following
graph_needs_truncation().
Teach graph_output_commit_line to skip the POST_MERGE status when
neither the commit nor the parent is on a visible lane but keep it
when either commit or parent lives in a visible lane.
