Looks good to me. I'm not so familiar with the source code as I looked at it first time when I submitted the patch.

I agree show-branch is nosy, and the actual options I was adding was "--topo-order master t/*" to show only topic branches. After rebasing them against master, show-branch with these arguments gives a nice overview. Thanks Junio's tip I now have

    alias.show-topics = show-branch --topo-order master t/*
