I think there are at least two web interfaces already and this is the third one with an interesting "twist". Javascript drawing is cute.

This is not to discourage yet another web based one, but I wish there were an NNTP interface, that feeds each repository/branch as a newsgroup and each commit as if it is "git-format-patch" output, with References: pointing at its parent commit "articles".

A merge commit would probably become a multipart with usually 2 attachments (but N attachments for a N-way octopus), showing diff from each branch.
