One commit can't serve as a parent to multiple merge commits (> 2)

This example is very close to what I would like to diagram-

      {(gitgraph) => {
        const develop = gitgraph.branch("develop").commit();
        const fix = gitgraph.branch("feature");
        const release = gitgraph.branch("release");
        fix.commit("Bug fixed.");
        release.merge(fix);
        develop.merge(release, "Bugfixes are always merged back to develop.");
      }}

However, with a little bit of mspaint-

This seems to be impossible to build in gitgraph. I would expect the following code to work, but it breaks horribly.

      {(gitgraph) => {
        const develop = gitgraph.branch("develop").commit();
        const fix = gitgraph.branch("feature");
        const release = gitgraph.branch("release");
        fix.commit("Bug fixed.");
        release.merge(fix);
        develop.merge(fix, "Bugfixes are always merged back to develop.");
      }}

@nicoespeon Actually, it seems like this issue might not be completely resolved. The case of two child merges does indeed work, but the case of three child merges does not.

Here’s the 2 case working fine:

      {(gitgraph) => {
        const develop = gitgraph.branch("develop").commit();
        const fix = gitgraph.branch("feature1");
        const release1 = gitgraph.branch("release1");
        fix.commit();
        release1.merge(fix);
        develop.merge(fix);
      }}

And here’s the 3 case looking slightly off:

      {(gitgraph) => {
        const develop = gitgraph.branch("develop").commit();
        const fix = gitgraph.branch("feature1");
        const release1 = gitgraph.branch("release1");
        const release2 = gitgraph.branch("release2");
        fix.commit();
        release1.merge(fix);
        release2.merge(fix);
        develop.merge(fix);
      }}

Notice that in the 3 case, the green-to-grey merge is rendered as coming from the orange merge commit for some reason.

Indeed, that’s interesting. Thanks for adding more details, we’ll look into this 👍
