Hi, If you use gitk and are working in a git repo with lots of merges between branches, it can be overwhelming to see all the commits in branches which have been merged in (eg, the commits in the 4.7 and active branches when trying to look at the frameworks branch).
The way to see commits that were actually made on the frameworks branch, and not commits that were merged in, is to use gitk --first-parent. It is documented in the git-log man page, because gitk accepts most standard git commands for dealing with refs. If you don't use gitk and don't understand git see: http://lostechies.com/joshuaflanagan/2010/09/03/use-gitk-to-understand-git/
