Hi,

Why not simply use info/grafts?

ORIG1 .. ORIG2 .. .. ORIG_HEAD
                            \\
                             GIT1 .. GIT2 .. .. GIT_HEAD

where the \\ link is the graft entry.

If we want (need, these days -- the history is so long that gitk draws spurious lines becase of 16-bit window coordinate overflow) to chop off history at some point, we can use the newfangled date parser + config file stuff to set a sane default.

July 4.  Statistics show that we loose more fools on this day than in all the
other days of the year put together.  This proves, by the number left in stock,
that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.
