Subject: Options to have git log presents commits of a non linear history in a meaningful order
Date: Mon, 13 May 2024 20:58:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1s6cl5-0003nc-3D@mx1.net9.cf> (raw)

Am I right by default, git log present commits of a non linear history in
a meaningles order? Am I right git log has options, such as --graph, to 
get the order of commits presented in a more meaningful way?

As of git 2.45.0, gittutorial states 
    
   The git log command has a weakness: it must present commits in
   a list. When the history has lines of development that
   diverged and then merged back together, the order in which git
   log presents those commits is meaningless.

Is it accurate?
