The first patch was from a long time ago. The concern was it may be breaking existing user expectation [1]. I still maintain that it's a good thing to do and should not break anything. Hence the resubmission.

The second patch adds negative column specifier to >|() and friends. A positive number 'n' specifies the n-th column from the left border of the screen, '-n' specifies the n-th column from the _right_ border.

I have been happy with 2/2 improving my "git l1" (fancy --oneline) printout for many months. It's definitely a good thing to do in my opinion.
