Show high-level branch graph
It would be great to have a view where you could see merges between branches in a git repo.
The use case is the following:
- You have several branches in your project: master, dev, stable, feat-xx, rel-xx, etc...
- You want to see the merge commits between those branches. When they are done, by whom, the commit id, and the option to see what was done since the last merge between two given branches.
- Individual commits do not matter a lot, as they add a lot of noise.
For instance this branching model has an image that would show what the view would look like:

Yes, commit messages are not that important in this kind of view. Not sure what you mean by linear connections?
What would help is to have one horizontal (or vertical) line per branch (maybe you would filter which branch are eligible to be displayed this way), and see the merge lines between them.
For example:
