Well if there is a solution there I can't seem to find it. Let me elaborate a little to explain things better.
Let's say there is collaborative repository_A with a master branch on GitHub. I checkout locally the master branch, its history will be linear when in reality this branch has been merged a lot of times. So the parent of a commit isn't necessarily the one that came before it in the log output. git show shows the parent. So I want this kind of behavior.
well... if you look at the log, ignoring merge commits, then the previous one with the same color must be the one you are looking for :) Also, you can invoke diff on commit - parent number will be shown in the left panel.
Both ways obviously don't look too intuitive. Please feel free to file a feature request for 'navigate to parent' support to youtrack, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA
