Why do the arrows point backwards? (I get it points to the parent, but I'd rather point forward chronologically, any commit history viewers that allow this?)

- actinium226 2y agoIn theory one could amend the parent commit such that its timestamp is after its child commit. In practice I do occasionally edit one of the commits in my branch if a particular change fits better with that commit (most often typos). As such pointing to the parent is more stable than pointing to when the parent.
