Don't show non-merge revisions

[gregmac]

This plugin would be much more useful if it was possible to not show the in-between revisions, and just show the ones where merges were taking place, as well as the first/last revisions of a branch (just for completeness).

For example, on the following image:

under branches/t810b, revisions 2623, 2628, 2632, and 2633 should not be displayed; 2621, 2622 shouldn't be shown for t1093b.

This would making viewing a repository with many revisions much more useful. For example, we often have 15 or 20 commits before doing a merge - particularly on trunk where many of the commits do not get merged. When you do a revtree of the last couple hundred commits, you get a huge long list where you can't even see both ends of the merge lines without scrolling, effectively making the chart useless.

Well, the "useful"ness is somewhat subjective, but if I understand it right you want to be able to hide in-between source revisions in a merge operation - knowing that's it's simply about hiding revisions, as the revisions do get merge anyway into the destination changeset.

Is that what you'd like?

No feedback from user.

It seems not to be a trivial change, while no other users have requested this feature: decreasing priority till other voices are raised to implement it.

I would like to raise a voice about this feature. The software my team has been developing for the past years now has over 25,000 revisions spread across multiple branches. When I first heard of this plugin, I thought it would help me to manage the branches, but having pages upon pages of "in-between source revisions" prevents the plugin from being usable for us, and being able to hide those revisions would be a great improvement.
