graph: smooth appearance of collapsing edges on commit lines
When a graph contains edges that are in the process of collapsing to the
left, but those edges cross a commit line, the effect is that the edges
have a jagged appearance:
*
|\
| *
| \
*-. \
|\ \ \
| | * |
| * | |
| |/ /
* | |
|/ /
* |
|/
*
We already takes steps to smooth edges like this when they're expanding;
when an edge appears to the right of a merge commit marker on a
GRAPH_COMMIT line immediately following a GRAPH_POST_MERGE line, we
render it as a `\`:
* \
|\ \
| * \
| |\ \
We can make a similar improvement to collapsing edges, making them
easier to follow and giving the overall graph a feeling of increased
symmetry:
*
|\
| *
| \
*-. \
|\ \ \
| | * |
| * | |
| |/ /
* / /
|/ /
* /
|/
*
To do this, we introduce a new special case for edges on GRAPH_COMMIT
lines that immediately follow a GRAPH_COLLAPSING line. By retaining a
copy of the `mapping` array used to render the GRAPH_COLLAPSING line in
the `old_mapping` array, we can determine that an edge is collapsing
through the GRAPH_COMMIT line and should be smoothed.
