This looks pretty good. You might want to set the priority of the
main-branch lines so that you get a straighter main branch. I don't
remember the exact methods of doing it, and I don't have time to dig
through my old code right now. But it might look nice.

You might change the simple lines between nodes into say double lines or
somesuch to indicate that there are missing revisions there.

In general, I think it looks good. All we need is to be able to mouse-over
the individual entries and get extra information (commit message, etc).
I suppose that could be done with a web-page and a bit of javascript, not
really in a png file.
