Thanks, this makes the navigation in a messy git history really much easier. |

With jonas#1138, using `:parent` after reaching an initial commit will keep pushing the same state in the main view history, and `:back` must then be used several times before it starts moving. Use lineno as data to prevent pushing the same history state. This a complement to 2e31516.

Hi there,
First, thank you for all the work on this awesome tool.
The one feature that I have been missing is the ability to go back to the previously selected commit after jumping to its parent. I find that to be really useful for git repositories which are "heavily non-linear" (like the Linux kernel tree).
I see this idea has already been suggested in #628 and also in #506 (which implemented #388), so I took a stab at implementing it.
This PR looks almost too simple to be right, but it seems to work well for me :-) I would be happy to work on it further if the approach I chose is not the preferred one.
Hope this helps!
