Actually, the clustered form makes it more obvious what the colors mean.
(Another reason to prefer clustered.) I assume it is:

orange: COMMON history
yellow: THIS history
red: OTHER history
blue: COMMON merges, not history
white: OTHER merges

Though blue might just be THIS merges, since there are places which
don't seem to be common.

It might be better to use a different color for the COMMON merges versus
the THIS merges.

I will admit that sometimes dot has a very strange idea of how to layout
the graph in clustered mode.
