For the record, I'd like to see something like branchview make it to
mainline. But the current implementation is quite scary. For instance,
each pixel in the graph is drawn by using Javascript to add a new HTML
div. As clever as that is, I can't merge such an atrocity in good
conscience. It also pulls a big ugly chunk of code from BZR along with
it to calculate the graph. It should probably instead figure out a way
to share code with the much faster and prettier graphlog extension.
