When I run tig, I see a graph of the branches. It uses letters on those lines to show what happened there:
- “o” means commit
- “M“ is a merge
- “I” is a merge
What is the difference between “M” and “I”?

The I is labelled as initial in tig source code
It seems it marks the initial commit (common ancestor) of a merge. The M marks the merging commit.

That might be. And checking it out I found a bug in the graph generation in `tig`. Some lines were not drawn... – Robert Siemer Dec 16 '14 at 16:03
