You mean like for example `git log --first-parent`?

  TIL, thank you! Now I know for a fact that squash-mergers have no excuse and can brandish the man page at them.

    `--first-parent` also today works for blame and bisect.

    People in general just have no idea how much version control is able to do. For one example try running "git help log" and just tap page-down a few (dozen) times to get an idea what's in there. For another example, you know how people hate aligning code vertically so much that linters don't allow it nowadays, the primary reason being that if you have to change the spacing then the diffs will identify far too many lines as having changed? Both git and svn have options to ignore whitespace changes: git diff -w svn diff -x -w
