Github network graph not displaying correctly
<p>I'm trying to follow a git branching strategy like the one in the image below: </p>

<p>However, when I branch from <code>develop</code> into <code>release</code>, and then merge the <code>release</code> branch back into <code>develop</code> and <code>master</code>, the network graph on Github displays the following:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8Emmr.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8Emmr.png" alt="Github network graph"></a></p>

<p>This makes it looks as if <code>develop</code> was branched from <code>release</code>, and not vice versa as it should be (especially once the release branch is deleted and its name no longer appears). </p>

<p>I followed the steps from <a href="http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tutorial</a> exactly:</p>

<ol>
<li><code>git checkout -b dev</code> (while on <code>master</code>)</li>
<li>make some changes and commit to <code>dev</code></li>
<li><code>git checkout -b release-1.0 dev</code></li>
<li>make some changes and commit to <code>release-1.0</code></li>
<li><code>git checkout master</code></li>
<li><code>git merge --no-ff release-1.0</code></li>
<li><code>git checkout dev</code></li>
<li><code>git merge --no-ff release-1.0</code></li>
</ol>

<p>Is there any way to get the Github network graph to display correctly? (either by changing a setting in Github or changing the steps taken to branch and merge)</p>
