Please replace this message with: ----8<---------------- Use horizontal lines instead of long diagonal lines during the collapsing state of graph rendering. For example what used to be: | | | | | | | | |/ | | |/| | |/| | |/| | | | | | | is now | | | | | | |_|_|/ |/| | | | | | | This results in more compact and legible graphs. ---->8---------------- Notice that I dropped out the part about precommits. Originally I intended to utilize horizontal lines in pre_commit_line's as well. But partway through I decided to just do collapsing_line's for now since (a) collapsing_line edges tend to extend much longer and (b) pre_commit_line's are less common since they only occur when there is a merge with at least three parents, and (c) the change for pre_commit_lines is liable to be more complicated and error-prone.
