Yes. gitk doesn't look wonderful with octopus merges, the lines start crossing. Oh well. I think you have to live with it, it's done this for a long time.

What makes _me_ go "eww" in that screenshot is that tcl/tk doesn't do anti-aliased fonts, but maybe that's just me, and that's apparently 8.5 has that fixed (at a horrible performance impact, I'm sure, but hey, one look at your screenshot and I'm saying "bring it on").
