I tried your patch but the gitk image confused me. I will look again at it tomorrow (it's quite late in the UK now).

One immediate thing I noticed was that the commits directly accessible via .git/HEAD are shown as empty by gitk and you would need to follow the parents to see what they contain. For every freeze, the patches expand to the right in gitk and the graph could get very complex after several freeze commands.
