In 04005834 ("log: fix coloring of certain octopus merge shapes", 2018-09-01) there is a fix for the coloring of dashes following an octopus merge. It makes a distinction between the case where all parents introduce a new column, versus the case where the first parent collapses into an existing column: | *-. | *-. | |\ \ | |\ \ | | | | |/ / / The latter case means that the columns for the merge parents begin one place to the left in the `new_columns` array compared to the former case. However, the implementation only works if the commit's parents are kept in order as they map onto the visual columns, as we get the colors by iterating over `new_columns` as we print the dashes. In general, the commit's parents can arbitrarily merge with existing columns, and change their ordering in the process. For example, in the following diagram, the number of each column indicates which commit parent appears in each column. | | *---. | | |\ \ \ | | |/ / / | |/| | / | |_|_|/ |/| | | 3 1 0 2 If the columns are colored (red, green, yellow, blue), then the dashes will currently be colored yellow and blue, whereas they should be blue and red. To fix this, we need to look up each column in the `mapping` array, which before the `GRAPH_COLLAPSING` state indicates which logical column is displayed in each visual column. This implementation is simpler as it doesn't have any edge cases, and it also handles how left-skewed first parents are now displayed: | *-. |/|\ \ | | | | 0 1 2 3 The color of the first dashes is always the color found in `mapping` two columns to the right of the commit symbol. Because commits are displayed after all edges have been collapsed together and the visual columns match the logical ones, we can find the visual offset of the commit symbol using `commit_index`.
