How is this a vast improvement?
I could see that inverting it top-to-bottom would
be more consistent with gitk or show-branch output.
Your example doesn't have a 3-parent commit, though,
and it isn't _that_ much simpler otherwise...
So this is really better _how_?
Oh, right, of course. It removes my name. Got it. :-)
