Netowrk Tab displays new branches inline with master when master is behind.

Hi,

We have recently noticed this in the Network tab. When branch is created either from Gitlab or through local git repo and pushed to origin, it appears on the same line as master no as branched out to the left, like you normally would see on branches where there are different commits.

Is this intentional to show that there are no changes in master compared to the new branch?

If I create another branch from master with different commit, then the first branch moves to the left (as expected) and second branch continues from master.

I think this is somewhat inconsistent, if branch is created it should be spawned to the left even if master is behind it. This keeps with the general convention of new branches are to the left of master.

STEPS TOREPRODUCE THIS:

  • Create new branch from master and commit a change
  • Push to origin
  • Create another branch from master
  • Push to origin
  • Look in the Network tab of the repository.
