I sometimes pull things in from unrelated repositories to rebase or cherry-pick items from a different line of development. I've done this to bring isolated features into a project in their own feature branches with their full development histories, and also to extract lines of development out to their own project, with their histories intact. These are usually not connected commits, but things I have to track down across time with `git log -S` and friends.
When I `git remote add otherrepo <url>`, then view things with my aliased `git log --oneline --all --graph --decorate` alias, I'm usually immediately straining to figure out what's what, as the two trees stack onto each other with no separation. It would be nice if root commits used something other than *, and/or if they could be colored differently by default, or via some option to make them stand out as parent-less commits. Is this feasible, or already possible? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
