Hm. I get the above output for v2.24.1. Since you are using a specific path for your execution, then perhaps that version disagrees with the one on your PATH that reported "git version"?

For v2.25.0 I get this:

*   e1ee7b8 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Merge branch 'k9' into k10
|\  
| *   7b48214 Merge branch 'k8' into k9

| | |\  
| | | * 44279cf blah
| | * | 4053c4d Merge branch 'k7' into k8
| |/| | 
| | |/  
| | * 5b449d6 update 8.7 news
| |/  
| * 43a324f foo
|/  
* 5932a51 root

Again, the key is at 4053c4d where the first edge out of the merge commit moves to the left.
