Hi, I get a very dirty implementation, see

http://jff.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/utils/git-branch-graph/

http://jff.googlecode.com/files/gitk-branch-graph--all.png
http://jff.googlecode.com/files/gitk--all.png

These are just to show my expectation, the code is very very very dirty,
I hope git and gitk will add this feature in an elegant and efficent way.
