Log: option to toggle visibility of parent commits

But is a more general approach. I would like to choose any state between "only first parents are shown" (proposed in the RFE) and "all parents are shown" (current state). I want to be able to hide any parent of any commit (mostly makes sense for merge commits and second parents). In this way I can exclude any irrelevant branches/commits/lines from the log and concentrate only on those I'm currently investigating.

GOOD, I'M SATISFIED

You can borrow some inspiration in Plastic SCM, how they do Branches View. Basically, each branch is considered a detail. Initially you can see only main line. You see merges on it. Interested in details? Expand a merge, look what's in it.

In version 19.1 one can show/hide merged commits if "Follow only first parent" is selected.

This is a good solution. But I was talking about more general approach, where you can expand merge commits.

In what details the current implementation differs from your expected behavior?

OMG, it turned out I didn't use the 19.1 RC. It works exactly as I expected. Brilliant! Thanks a lot!
