Hello,
I would like gitk to show me only the heads, branch-points and
merge-points of branches.
For example, given a history like this:
d...e--F--g...h--H
/ \
a1--a2...an--b--C N--o...p--P
\ /
i...j--K--l...m--M
I would like to see only
- a1 because it has no parent
- C,F,K because they are reachable from multiple heads
- N because it has multiple parents
- H,M,P because they are heads
Ideally, there would be a possibility to add some "context" to the
list of commits to be shown: with $context==1, all the commits shown
in the above history would be shown, but the commits indicated by
the triple-dots would be omitted.
The reason is that I have some repositories with several really long
linear history. It is hard to get a global overview about the branch
history if you have to scroll constantly.
Is something like that possible with gitk?

Not today, no. I'm not sure how hard it would be to add, and as I'm a
tcl-analphabet the chances of successfully implementing it marginally
increases if I don't work on it.

I am not sure if it would give you exactly what you want, but if I
understand correctly gitk accepts arguments for git-log (and you can
set them somewhere in options, too). Take a look at section "History
Simplification" in git-log/git-rev-list manpage, in particular at
option '--simplify-by-decoration' there.
