Some folks have asked to see at least screenshots of the line part of the gitk output, as apparently they've never seen ugly history in Git. Lucky them. The images are rather large so I have posted them on my website with a bit longer explanation of each: http://www.spearce.org/2007/07/difficult-gitk-graphs.html I just compared my own history to Linus' linux-2.6 history. The kernel team can't hold a candle to this mess. Remember, this is *with* me involved in the project on a daily basis. Me. Someone who knows Git fairly well... OK, no more screenshots from *that* repository! I don't ever want to run `gitk --all` there again. Ever. PS: The really interesting data (subject lines, authors, dates) has all been redacted from the images. I can't publish that stuff. -- Shawn.
