What I'm looking for is to see is a graphical history representation with only the tip of all branches plus all merge bases drwan like a molecul shape, where all intermediate commits are replaced by a single symbol like '~'. Think of the gitk version of the history below: E-*-*-*-F / A-*-*-*-*-*-*-B-C-*-*-*-D \ G-*-*-H-*-*-*-I \ J-*-*-*-*-*-K I want an output like this: E-~-F / A-~-B-C-~-D \ G-~-H-~-I \ J-~-K Is there an option in gitk (or in any other tool) to get such a view?
