Option to change parent – child arrows direction
The direction of arrows from child to parent is confusing a bit for us. I suggest you add an option to turn the direction of these arrows optionally.
(Add the option to branchexplorer.cfg, similar to display.options.dag_mergelinks=true)

Available now in Plastic SCM 4.1.10.443!
A new configuration option has been added to display the changeset
arrows in the Branch Explorer from parent to children (instead of the
opposite, which is the default behaviour). In order to use it the user
must add the following line in the branchexplorer.cfg file:

I am changing it for the third time in my life, change the direction by default ffs.

Change the direction by default. It is ridiculous. Direction of arrows should respect flow of the time in all cases.

What I've seen in other version control systems, there were just lines, no arrows.
But as you display merges as arrows (which is nice), why don't use child links with the same paradigm, instead of parent links? I think it would be more consistent. This graph is not a class diagram.

Considering it will probably take a second to implement... we'll do it! :)
But, look, it is like in inheritance in class diagrams... the arrow goes TO the parent...
And, every single modern version control does it this way...
And, well, ok, we'll do it but then you'll have to become a fan at heart XD
