At the risk of sounding Old School, yes.

While the "log --graph" thing is Really Slick, it has grumbly-factors, IMO. First, I have to set up an alias all the time, as "git log --graph --pretty=oneline" is grumpy typing. Second, I always have to widen my screen to accommodate reasonable looking output or colrm it. (Having it self-colrm to window-width would be nice.) (Sure, --abbrev-commit too, but see "First," above. :-)) Finally, I frequently like seeing a self-limited history when all the branches reach their common ancestor.

HTH, jdl
