Date order just doesn't cut it. 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. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
