Thanks for your clear response. I can see where I went wrong now.

 As git log can only present the commits in a linear way, it shows
 the commits from the ancentry of both parents of HEAD in a reverse
 chronological order. This means that the commits from the two
 ancestries are mixed and commits that are shown after each other don't
 have to be parent and child. See the documentation of git log and
 the section Commit Ordering: By default, the commits are shown in
 reverse chronological order.

 git log --graph can help with getting a better picture.

Maybe something like this would help avoid confusion a bit in the
future? This toy patch puts a horizontal line as a break between two
commits if they are not related, so we can clearly see linear commit
segments.

--graph definitely helps, but it's too many threads for topic-based
development model like git.git that I avoid it most of the time.

FWIW, this would have saved a lot of head scratching at work over the years.

I'd love to see this in place.

 My co-worker has an inconsistent git log output. Please see that
 attached files for output (I've made a best effort to remove

 Comparing the two log commands we can see that master and
 originssh/master have a shared common commit at

 John Doe (4 hours ago) d85832d
 More pom fixes

 The top commit for originssh/master and the second to top for master.

 I would expect that both logs would share an _identical_ history from
 that commit onward. But the log for master contains the following

 Jeremy Doe (27 hours ago) 239ea21 (my-work)
 renamed class

 Jeremy Doe (28 hours ago) 27750b2
 Merge branch 'master' of
 http://githost.companyname-dev.local/trading-development/sports-container-framework

 and

 Jeremy Doe (2 days ago) a933acb
 white space changes

 Jeremy Doe (2 days ago) b5e51e7
 Merge branch 'master' of
 http://githost.companyname-dev.local/trading-development/sports-container-framework

 Jeremy Doe (2 days ago) 3a0f787
 removed public methods

 Jeremy Doe (2 days ago) 4e91130
 added the xml deserialisation

 None of which appear in the originssh/master log. Is there a scenario
 in which this is expected. It was my understanding that any two
 commits with the same hash have exactly the same history.

 Thanks for your time.

The commits that are in the log for master and which are not in the
log for originssh/master are merged in at 6833fd4 (HEAD, master);
Completed merge.
