does anyone have tips for how to make sense of git merge histories like this? do you use `git log --first-parent`? something else? how can you tell if commit A was merged before or after commit B? what if there are "backwards" merges like in the 3rd screenshot?

(no "just make the history linear” or "merges are bad" takes please)
