Network graph incorrect when no contributions to master since branch was created.

1. Create new gitlab project.
2. Follow "Create Repository" instructions.
3. change a file.
4. commit, push
5. git checkout -b a
6. edit file
7. commit
8. git push origin a

You incorrectly see a branched from the master:

Once you make a new commit to the master branch, the correct network is shown:

Not precisely sure how to give you a version indication. I updated my installation from github about a fortnight ago.

check the file VERSION in your gitlab root (/home/gitlab/gitlab/VERSION or so).

Same thing here. (4.0.0)

But rather to only manage master, is it possible to put default branch (mine is called dev as example) as first line in network graph ?

In that case it is extremely misleading. The network graph suggests that the parent of commit #3 (closed) is commit #2 (closed), while in reality it is commit #1 (closed).

The first image in the OP is incorrect. The expected graph is: Which correctly visualizes parent relationships.

by this steps:

Create new gitlab project.
Follow "Create Repository" instructions.
change a file.
commit, push           # master is here
git checkout -b a      # create a new branch with name a and checkout it, in this step master = a
edit file
commit
git push origin a

you must see first image and it is correct

I've created a sample repo at https://github.com/PaulWagener/Network-Graph-Demonstration to demonstrate the problem.

GitHub visualises it like this: https://github.com/PaulWagener/Network-Graph-Demonstration/network

Git on the command line agrees:

But GitLab somehow thinks it is linear:

In all cases I've used exactly the same git repository.
