What is the meaning of branches "moving back in" in the Git graph view?
Answered
In the attached screenshot, in the area marked by the blue bracket, three branches are branching of the left most branch. Is there a meaning to these branches turning back in to the left, once they are beyond the left most branch? Why instead do they not continue as straight lines (tried to show what I mean with dashed lines)?

Hi,
Currently it is implemented this way. Code checks which branches are shown in the particula row and shows them from left to right.
There will be imrovements for git log graph in the next update.

Didn't believe this to be a decades old issue, good to hear there's an improvement coming up
