I'm still on the > fence about this It has been quite a while since I used gitk the last time, but I recall it did something similar. Instead of saying "I removed line from here so you do not know where the other end of it is", it drew a little down arrow and there was some way to find the matching up arrow further down in the graph (either being in the same color or perhaps clicking on one end jumped you to the other one, taking advantage of being interactive program, I do not recall the details). I wnder if we can "label" your "." above with something like (a)..(z)(aa)..(az).. or something?
