Wow that was a quick one. :-)
I just tested the latest nightly and it works like a charm. Thanks alot.
@Gavin - With regards to ur question whether it will also display the
pre-branch revision as grayed-out when "hide non-mergable revisions" and
"stop on copy" are unchecked, the answer would be: No, not with the
current nightly build.
