Hello,
I would like gitk to show me only the heads, branch-points and merge-points of branches.
For example, given a history like this:
d...e--F--g...h--H
/ \
a1--a2...an--b--C N--o...p--P
\ /
i...j--K--l...m--MI would like to see only
- a1 because it has no parent - C,F,K because they are reachable from multiple heads - N because it has multiple parents - H,M,P because they are heads
Ideally, there would be a possibility to add some "context" to the list of commits to be shown: with $context==1, all the commits shown in the above history would be shown, but the commits indicated by the triple-dots would be omitted.
The reason is that I have some repositories with several really long linear history. It is hard to get a global overview about the branch history if you have to scroll constantly.
Is something like that possible with gitk?
