But I think putting a padding in there would help re...

Is there any way of easily deciphering (i.e. at a glance) whether or not a branch has already previously been merged with the another branch or the trunk? The nearest I've been able to figure out is by looking at the commit notes and displaying the merged commit notes. The disadvantage with this seems to be that unless you know which b...
