Actually, I think one problem here is that anybody why looks at just the 
gitweb interface may not realize how git works.

If you use gitk as your primary way of learning about a git problem, the 
whole time issue just goes away, because gitk shows the _real_ 
relationships so well.

I used gitk in all my initial explanations of git, because it turned a 
fairly abstract "here, let me explain how it works" into a "See? Look at 
this" kind of situation.

I think gitweb is great (in a way I have _never_ felt about any of the CVS 
web interfaces I have ever seen), but gitweb doesn't really explain how 
things work as well as gitk does.
