Blooming from left-to-right possible? about gource HOT 2 OPEN

I think what you might be seeing is that there is some pseudo random acceleration given to the files that is deterministic so you get the same initial bias. There's no option to initialize the random number generator seed to something else.

Since you can control the input you could change some of the order or add to/remove some of the initial files to get it to do something different.

Ahh. I did see --hash-seed and hoped maybe that would let me make "reproducible" runs, but it never seemed to do that. Guess it does something else.

Well, we are looking at a directory tree that grows in a line (no branches), so no matter what it just always seems to be right-to-left. So not much we can do there. Oh well, makes things interesting.

Now what would really be nice is if we could make it just be horizontal regardless of growth, instead of random angles. For now I just keep running gource over and over until the move comes out horizontal-ish. 😄
