Tough choice. Do we make avoiding the strange timelines easier or do we 
make it easy to hide entire timelines?                                  

Here are some  of the states that  the timeline can get  into (some with
propagate and some without):

http://fossil.bradfords.org:8080/timeline

Notice that branch five  has a strange break in it  (this was done using
your UI change).  The mistake branch was also done  using the UI change,
and both have timelines that have no beginning.

I hid  the trunk using the  command line by adding  a propagating hidden
tag to  it. Also,  this tag propagates  to branches so  there is  also a
hidden branch (and a handful of check-ins) that are no longer seen.

If you open this  fossil in the UI that doesn't have  your change, a lot
more will be visible.

Yes, I discovered this after I sent the email. Thanks.

Along  with the  button  to  reveal hidden  timeline  items, should  the
ability to always show hidden  items be a preference in Admin->Timeline?
Kind of like the ``Show version differences by default'' option.

Thanks,

Andy
