About the "git merge" tee-shirt

Hi,

For those of you who weren't at the Git Merge conference last week, we goot a tee-shirt with this drawing:

I have to say I love that tee-shirt. I already had tee-shirts that only computer scientists could understand, now I have a tee-shirt that not even every computer scientist can understand.

Now, I have a problem: I'm not sure I understand what the drawing represents.

Initially, I thought the circles represented Git contributors, and links represented people contributing to the same parts of the codebase. But looking at the output of "shortlog -s", I can't find a correspondance with the tee-shirt. My second guess is that they represent directories. But even then, I can't find which of the tee-shirt's circles represents which directory, and the count doesn't match.

Does anybody have a better explanation? Or is it just a random drawing to say "Git is bigger than it used to be"?

Thanks,
