graph: example of graph output that can be simplified The commits following this one introduce a series of improvements to the layout of graphs, tidying up a few edge cases, namely: - merge whose first parent fuses with an existing column to the left - merge whose last parent fuses with its immediate neighbor on the right - edges that collapse to the left above and below a commit line This test case exemplifies these cases and provides a motivating example of the kind of history I'm aiming to clear up.

graph: tidy up display of left-skewed merges Currently, when we display a merge whose first parent is already present in a column to the left of the merge commit, we display the first parent as a vertical pipe `|` in the GRAPH_POST_MERGE line and then immediately enter the GRAPH_COLLAPSING state.

graph: commit and post-merge lines for left-skewed merges Following the introduction of "left-skewed" merges, which are merges whose first parent fuses with another edge to its left, we have some more edge cases to deal with in the display of commit and post-merge lines. The current graph code handles the following cases for edges appearing to the right of the commit (*) on commit lines. A 2-way merge is usually followed by vertical lines: | | | | * | | |\ \ An octopus merge (more than two parents) is always followed by edges sloping to the right: | | \ | | \ | *-. \ | *---. \ | |\ \ \ | |\ \ \ \ A 2-way merge is followed by a right-sloping edge if the commit line immediately follows a post-merge line for a commit that appears in the same column as the current commit, or any column to the left of that: | * | * | | |\ | |\ \ | * \ | | * \ | |\ \ | | |\ \ This commit introduces the following new cases for commit lines.

We also need to display a space after the vertical line descending from the commit marker, whereas this line would normally be followed by a backslash. | * | | |/| | | If a left-skewed merge has more than 2 parents, then the edges to its right are still sloped as they bend around the edges introduced by the merge. | * | | |/|\ \ \ To handle these new cases, we need to know not just how many parents each commit has, but how many new columns it adds to the display; this quantity is recorded in the `edges_added` field for the current commit, and `prev_edges_added` field for the previous commit. Here, "column" refers to visual columns, not the logical columns of the `columns` array. This is because even if all the commit's parents end up fusing with existing edges, they initially introduce distinct edges in the commit and post-merge lines before those edges collapse.

This is because even if all the commit's parents end up fusing with existing edges, they initially introduce distinct edges in the commit and post-merge lines before those edges collapse. For example, a 3-way merge whose 2nd and 3rd parents fuse with existing edges still introduces 2 visual columns that affect the display of edges to their right. | | | \ | | *-. \ | | |\ \ \ | |_|/ / / |/| | / / | | |/ / | |/| | | | | | This merge does not introduce any *logical* columns; there are 4 edges before and after this commit once all edges have collapsed. But it does initially introduce 2 new edges that need to be accommodated by the edges to their right. Signed-off-by: James Coglan <jcoglan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

graph: flatten edges that fuse with their right neighbor When a merge commit is printed and its final parent is the same commit that occupies the column to the right of the merge, this results in a kink in the displayed edges: * | |\ \ | |/ | * Graphs containing these shapes can be hard to read, as the expansion to the right followed immediately by collapsing back to the left creates a lot of zig-zagging edges, especially when many columns are present. We can improve this by eliminating the zig-zag and having the merge's final parent edge fuse immediately with its neighbor: * | |\| | * This reduces the horizontal width for the current commit by 2, and requires one less row, making the graph display more compact. Taken in combination with other graph-smoothing enhancements, it greatly compresses the space needed to display certain histories: * |\ | * * | |\ |\ | | * | * | | | | |\ | | \ | | * | *-. \ | * | | |\ \ \ => |/|\| |/ / / / | | * | | | / | * | | | |/ | |/ | | * * / | * | |/ | |/ * * | |/ * One of the test cases here cannot be correctly rendered in Git v2.23.0; it produces this output following commit E: | | *-. \ 5_E | | |\ \ \ | |/ / / / | | | / _ | |_|/ |/| | The new implementation makes sure that the rightmost edge in this history is not left dangling as above.

graph: example of graph output that can be simplified The commits following this one introduce a series of improvements to the layout of graphs, tidying up a few edge cases, namely: - merge whose first parent fuses with an existing column to the left - merge whose last parent fuses with its immediate neighbor on the right - edges that collapse to the left above and below a commit line This test case exemplifies these cases and provides a motivating example of the kind of history I'm aiming to clear up. The first parent of merge E is the same as the parent of H, so those edges fuse together. * H | | *-. E | |\ \ |/ / / | * B We can "skew" the display of this merge so that it doesn't introduce additional columns that immediately collapse: * H | | * E |/|\ | * B The last parent of E is D, the same as the parent of F which is the edge to the right of the merge. * F | \ *-. \ E |\ \ \ / / / / | / |/ * D The two edges leading to D could be fused sooner: rather than expanding the F edge around the merge and then letting the edges collapse, the F edge could fuse with the E edge in the post-merge line: * F | \ *-. | E |\ \| / / / | * D If this is combined with the "skew" effect above, we get a much cleaner graph display for these edges: * F | * | E /|\| | * D Finally, the edge leading from C to A appears jagged as it passes through the commit line for B: | * | C | |/ * | B |/ * A This can be smoothed out so that such edges are easier to read: | * | C | |/ * / B |/ * A Signed-off-by: James Coglan <jcoglan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
