Sverre just notified me that the commit message is not brilliant.  How 
about this:

-- snip --
When calling "git log --left-right <branch1>...<branch2>", a single "<" or 
">" is shown in front of the commit line, to indicate which branch1 this 
commit comes from, branch1 or branch2.

However, it is easy to miss in the output of "git log --graph ...", since 
the graph still has "*" for regular commits and "M" for merge commits.  So 
imitate gitk, and show the "<" and ">" characters in the graph, too, 
instead of "*" (or "M").

Thanks,
