Gitg behavouir as gitk --all

Question

I switched to gitg from gitk to visualize my git tree. There is one thing I can't stand.

Let's say I have two branches (dev, master) that look like this:

Anytime I checkout to master the visualization changes:

That means that the branch I am currently on is on the top of the tree. In other words, I can't see the dev branch at the moment.

That is the same default behavouir as gitk has, but it can be changed there using --all attribute, which makes it the way I want. Can that be achieved using gitg?

Answer 1

That thread mentions the possibility to open gitg in "All Branches" mode:

gitg -- --all

It also mentions that it might not be working in the current version of gitg though (the bug report is still unconfirmed)

As the OP aGr mentions, there is an option "All branches" in the Branch combo box:

But it isn't a persistent choice after a checkout.
