Hi,
I have noticed that gitk does not order the branches it draws the same way as 'git log --graph'
'git log' seems to keep your current branch as the leftmost line. In the below screenshot here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9b8DuGRceMSTHgzV3dBZkxiTVU&authuser=0) master is the current branch. It is the leftmost branch and we can see that at faf2797 someone made a branch and later merged it back into master. This is shown as a bump out to the right.
However in gitk this is not the case. In the shot here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9b8DuGRceMSNUJjbEhGaDZXeTg&authuser=0) the same commits are shown but the bump is out to the left. Master is in the middle of a number of branches.
This is counter intuitive (to me at least). I can't seem to find any setting or argument that will have gitk behave the same as 'git log' with regards to branch ordering.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
