You also have to keep in mind, that I haven't really hacked git before, so 
I'm just trying to do something with the data I can somehow extract from 
it. I seriously didn't thought that anyone wouldn't understand that the 
code example was just a proof of concept.

It also has to do with correctness, is performance more important than 
correctness? 
Part of the problem is, what is the correct history, as which it should be 
displayed via the various interfaces by default.
