Description Markus Keller CLA 2011-09-27 12:55:23 EDT 
The git history view should allow filtering some references even with "Show All Branches and Tags" enabled.

I think I once did a "git rebase", which created an ORIG_HEAD reference (next to HEAD and FETCH_HEAD). Now, my history view is polluted with a ORIG_HEAD reference, and I found no way to get rid of this other than removing the now obsolete ORIG_HEAD file on disk. The pollution is a separate line of descent drawn on the left of the view.

It would be nice to have a filter for some references/tags/branches or a configurable "Show Selected Branches and Tags" option.

The solution for this is discussed in https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/5050/

The fix was now accepted. Additional refs can be filtered now. Therefore I'll close this bug now
