Option to show only first line of commit message in Commit Graph. #2621

Open PeterSHollander opened 1 year ago

PeterSHollander commented 1 year ago

Some commit messages require additional lines of information after the first summary line, but rendering all this extra message info inline in the Commit Graph creates a lot of visual noise. If an option to show only the first line of the commit message in the Commit Graph were implemented, I would be better able to get an overview of commit history at a glance.

Thank you for considering this option, and for developing this thorough extension!

We've made recent changes to how we display the rest of the commit message in the Commmit Graph -- do you still feel like a setting is required?

Thank you for letting me know about the changes, I've just installed the most recent version and it is certainly an improvement!

I would say this is still a valid feature request for me, as that visual noise is still there, but softer. Perhaps letting the user change between its current behaviour and a unique ellipsis (something to differentiate it from an actual ellipsis in the commit message, such as a button-style border a la GitHub/GitLab)?

Sounds good -- I will leave this open.
