Hi,
I want to obtain an outline of history information, for example:
a - b - c - d - h -i -j
\ /
e- f - g
I simplify the graph like this:
a - c - d - j
\ /
g
That's to say, I skip all commits that
* have only one parent, and
* have only one child, and
* its child has only one parent
I checked `git help rev-list` but didn't find this feature, so I
write a little script[1] to parse output of `git rev-list --parents
--full-history --sparse --all` and get the simplified history:
j d
d c g
c a
g a
Now how can I make gitk to show this simpilified history? I have tried
GraphViz but the history information is still so large that GraphViz
crashes.

Best regards,

"gitk --simplify-by-decoration"?

Thanks, but that gets "a - g - j" which isn't what I want.
(g and j are heads of two branches).
The command sequence to produce that full revision graph:
#!/bin/bash
d=/tmp/t$$
rm -rf $d && mkdir $d && cd $d || exit 1
doit () {
for s in $@; do
echo $s >> a.txt
git add a.txt
git commit -q -m $s
done
}
git init
doit a b c
git checkout -b t HEAD~2
doit e f g
git checkout master
git merge t
doit d h i j

Hi, I get a very dirty implementation, see
http://jff.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/utils/git-branch-graph/
http://jff.googlecode.com/files/gitk-branch-graph--all.png
http://jff.googlecode.com/files/gitk--all.png
These are just to show my expectation, the code is very very very dirty,
I hope git and gitk will add this feature in an elegant and efficent way.
