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. :-) jdl
