Show Long Edges: if this option is enabled, long branches are displayed in full, even if there are no commits in them. If this option is disabled (by default), long branches are replaced with a down arrow. Collapse Linear Branches: enable this option to collapse all branches on the graph so that a dotted line is shown instead of successive commits. It is also possible to collapse an individual expanded branch by clicking it. Expand Linear Branches: enable this option to expand all collapsed branches to show successive commits on the graph. It is also possible to expand an individual collapsed branch by clicking it. Highlight: select if you want to highlight the following: My Commits: bold font Merge Commits: greyed out Current Branch: blue background Non-Picked Commits: greyed out (only available for Git).
