By the way, I noticed that "log --graph" is horribly broken when used with "-p -m" to show a history with a merge. For example, try running the following:

	$ cd t
        $ sh t1512-rev-parse-disambiguation.sh -d
        $ cd tras*tory.t1512-*tion/
        $ git log --oneline -p -m -M

and then run the last one with "--graph":

	$ git log --oneline -p -m -M --graph

Two people who worked heavily on the --graph option in the past CC'ed.
