Adds --first-parent options to remove previously deleted files

This causes only merge commits to show which fixed the error. This however, could be added as an extra cli option.

Looks promising.

Thanks for looking into the issue. This might fix the problem in some cases, but from what I can tell --first-parent causes only the last commit of a merge branch to get included, so it would omit other changes from that branch being shown in Gource. E.g. if an earlier commit on the merge branch added a new file, that event will get discarded.

I have just tested it and while I agree that squashing the branches is a problem, I still see it as an improvement over current behaviour.

Is this something we can merge in?

We have the problem with Mercurial too and I can not find any option in hg log for that. So I would prefer an additional option in Gource to let Gource ignore modified files when they are not already existing.
