Description

To reduce clutter and noise, I would love the ability to blackbox (either exclude or collapse into a single node) commits matching some criteria:

  • all commits before a certain date or commit, or
  • all unexplored commits (e.g. highlighted in blue below)

See also #40 (but that may not exhaustively solve this issue).

Inspired somewhat by the blackboxing feature in Chrome Dev Tools.

Research direction
Investigate the current visualization code, understand how commits are displayed, and design a filter mechanism for excluding commits based on criteria such as date or exploration status.
