I've been using it for two days, and it worked very well so far :+1:

I updated this PR to use the / separator instead of ?. This also makes the implementation significantly simpler. Since /0 no longer is visually similar to the old ?? divergent marker, I also moved "divergent" to be a label at the end, similar to conflicts.

Edit: I updated the generation number to be calculated ignoring visible/hidden state as suggested in https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/pull/7194#discussion_r2548952508
