Don't show current commit in smartlog

[adzenith]

I want to use git smartlog to show a chunk of the commit graph. It seems that if I provide a query, it also includes the currently checked out commit even if the query wouldn't otherwise include that commit. Is there a way to disable this behavior?
The help does promise:

  [REVSET]  The commits to render. These commits, plus any related commits, will be rendered

so perhaps this is a "related commit" :) But is there a way I can have it show just my revset?

Thanks!

This was intentional, as the smartlog is primarily a situational awareness tool rather than a query or reporting tool. There are 2 commits always included to assist with understanding how the revset relates to the public commits (main or master or whatever) and to what you're currently working on (HEAD).

That said, it would not be hard to add a flag to turn this off. The code that adds these commits to the log is here:

git-branchless/git-branchless-smartlog/src/lib.rs

Lines 350 to 353 in c9dcc00

	// HEAD and main head must be included
	let commits = commits
	.union(&dag.head_commit)
	.union(&dag.main_branch_commit);

An --exact flag was added in #1241
