Tree no longer shows merges

[Gary Giebler]

When I merge a branch back into develop or main, it leaves the branch hanging as if it never merged.  It used to show a line back to the main branch.  This has been this way for several months (versions).  It happens on all of my projects so I don't think it is bad data in one of the project git folders.

Hi Gary,

I would first check if the merges are fast-forwarding. If Git can fast-forward, no merge commit is created, so there is no line to draw, and the branch looks unmerged. Tick Create a commit even if merge resolved via fast forward in the merge dialog, or run git config --global merge.ff false.

I would also confirm the History view is set to All branches rather than the current branch, and that Show Remote Branches is enabled.

Cheers, Martin
