I just want to present a small tool I wrote. I use it at work to have
a tool visualizing the Git basic concepts and data structures which
"are really really really simple" (Linus' words). That helps me
teaching my colleagues about Git and answering their questions when
Git did not behave as they expected.

Very nice!  Thank you!

I tried it on a couple of my test repos that I use when teaching
people and it appears you need to munge branch names that contain
hyphens in the generated dot file, or dot fails to parse the file.

Otherwise, it's a neat tool.  Thanks again!
