ACK.
This matches exactly what I was thinking of.

The red vs magenta looks a bit too close in color for me (red, green and blue?), but quite frankly, it's not like I really care.

Those author/date fields look really empty, but that's probably a good way to emphasize that they aren't real commits, so while it's visually a bit strange, it probably is the right thing to do.
