I feel it'd make the display less cluttered.\n\nAs of now, I think, a column shows commits in a merged branch, and\neven parents of that branch, which makes reading bit uneasy. What\nwould be preferable instead to show only the first parent in a column\n- something like the output of\n\ngit log --graph --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --first-parent --all\n| sed 's#|\\|/##g'\n\nalong with the header and naming strings of show-branch.\n\nThanks\n-- \n:J\n"}]}
