The changes Robert made caused the loss of some information (where
secondary branches merged one another and the mainline) and Robert also
wanted to drop the origin-of line.
I insisted on keeping it because I thought that removing those lines
would have caused the graph not too look like a graph anymore and would
have seriously reduced the bling value of bzrk. Though, I agree I mostly
find them annoying now, especially since some of the information is
already omitted.
Ideally, I would like to have a way to select one of three displays:
* all merges (old style bzrk, oh-my-what-a-mess)
* merges towards mainline and origins (current style)
* only merges towards mainline (bzr log with colors)
