HN discussionI feel like the commits are ordered backwards horizontally here: https://pvigier.github.io/media/img/commit-graph/many_merges... Wouldn't it make more sense to have the first commit leftmost, closest to master etc. Beyond just feeling more natural to me (reading left to right etc) it'd avoid that huge amount of lines crossing going to the merges, as shown in the smartgit example.
