By the way, gitweb at repo.or.cz has graphical log (a la gitk) using
git-browser by Arteem Khodush, which uses JavaScript library for graphics
(creating lines box by box) and a bit of AJAX-ism.

I was thinking about using "template" PNG with transparency and colored
boxes to have lighter than git-browser graphical history in gitweb, but...

By the way, you can try to add --topo-order support to gitweb, although I'm
not sure if it would do what you want.
