Issue created Apr 30, 2019 by Thomas Gerstenberg@KixXx

Super-project-pointer should show in revision graph of submodule

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Have a project containing a git submodule
  2. Open revision graph of submodule

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Especially if the submodule is in deteched head state, currently there is no indication to which commit the super project is pointing to in the revision graph.

It would be nice to have this commit highlighted, similar to how the super-project-pointer is represented in the log. This would be helpful to have a quick orientation with submodules that have a lot of branches, where a lot of development is happening.

Example:

No indication of the referenced commit in revision graph:
