What does it mean to 'show a "git flow-like" view'? Show multiple branches? Place commits on each branch in 'swim-lanes', rather than moving them around on the horizontal to fit the space available? Some more detail, or even a mock-up would help a lot here.

It is already possible to show multiple branches in gitk at the same time. You probably have some more specific needs beyond simply showing the different branches. Maybe you can be more specific?
