Please make sure that the body of the proposed log message begins
with a full sentence, not as a continuation of a sentence that the
title started (as a consequence, the title must be understandable
without the help of the beginning part of the body, too).

In other words, revs->break_revision_mark is left NULL unless
--show-linear-break is given.

And that causes this to break.  Now "--graph" alone won't show '#'
for the root commits, despite that is what [1/2] wanted to do.

Here is a fix-up, plus some minimum tests.  

The part to teach left-right codepath to show L/R is a fix-up to
[1/2], not to this step.  You might want to change them to some
left/right punctuation letters, like () or [].

The other hunks in revision.c are fixes to step [2/2].

I didn't test a custom --show-linear-break='My break line' in the
attachedtest, so that it can be squashed into your [1/2] to test the
feature that step adds.  You should be able to add tests for that
feature in this step [2/2] on top.

I still am skeptical that spending 3 more letters to denote roots is
worth it, though.

Having said all that, I do not mind if the new markings were
activated only when --show-linear-break option (or a separate new
option) is given.  But if that is where we want to go, your [1/2]
that uses the new markings unconditionally is a regression.

A better organization, if we wanted to have multiple and smaller
steps than a single whole thing, would be:

 [1/2] Introduce a new "--mark-root-commits" option, or abuse the
       existing "--show-linear-break" option, and change "*<>"
       marking used for commits to "#LR" (or whatever appropriate)
       when the option is in effect.  Document the behaviour and add
       tests.

 [2/2] Introduce "--show-linear-break=<custom-value>" option.
       Document the behaviour and add tests.

If you apply [1/2] and [2/2] with the earlier fixes I sent, you'll
see many fallouts from existing tests, as the representation of the
root commit is changed unconditionally.  We view breakages of tests
as a rough estimate of how badly end-user scripts could break, and
the picture was not very pretty.  And that is why I am suggesting
the above "only do the new markings when asked, not unconditionally"
approach.

I still am skeptical that spending 3 more letters to denote roots is
worth it, though.

Thanks.

Sorry. I didn't make this clear. It is not an accident that patch 1 
denotes root commits unconditionally and patch 2 makes it optional. I 
present two choices. If we prefer to unconditionally denote root 
commits, patch 2 may be left out, otherwise, patch 1 should be squashed 
away.

I didn't have an opinion towards either option, but you make a good 
point about end-user scripts.

Me too, but I think a user-defined mark needs to be a string to support 
Unicode characters.

Ahh, I didn't even consider making it user-defined.

As it seems a lot safer to make this an optional feature, it does
sort-of make sense to let the letters used for root & left-root be
customizable, and it does make sense to take a multi-byte character,
but I am not sure what implications it has if we allowed any string
without ensuring that it occupies one display column.

Does git, or a dependency library, have the ability to interpret TERM 
and locale to determine on-screen character count/size?

If not, maybe let users use multi-character strings, but call it misuse 
of the option that will mess offset that row of the --graph output until 
we have something to determine on-screen size.
