This may be clueless (I suspect that it is) but I have never understood
the meaning of the different line colors in gitk.  They seems arbitrary to me.

I get that the current HEAD is represented as a yellow dot, but that's it.
(As an aside, it might be nice if merges had a different color dot than
normal commits).

Can anyone clue me in?
