Look also at the 'treeplot' tool there, which determines which tree(s)
each patch went through and makes pretty (OK, not hugely pretty) pictures
from the result.

I suspect you'll find that the tree information is mostly correct.
Developers need to know that to be able to base their patches properly; an
incorrect entry would lead to a certain amount of maintainer misery.

Thanks,
