This is a support question, please excuse me, if this is not the right channel. I have a custom but plain JSON hierarchy of commits in the following format:
I tried now a variety of possibilities but can't find a way to properly draw the right graph.
1) I tried to collect all commits to sort with commit time, but that might lose the connection to which branch the commit belongs.
2) I tried to iterate all over all branches, and from then backwards through the parents and skip every commit that is already drawn in the graph.
In either case, I get weird representations of the graph. Am I missing something fundamental here? What is the best and easiest way to render the graph dynamically? Could anyone help out?
P.S. Is there a way to get access to an already "drawn" commit object and to call branch(...) on this? Currently all graph functions return this, so I always append a new commit to the end. If I instead can locate a commit and branch off from there, that would help a lot
