Queries that help me answer the question of "did I merge this
branch?", "when did I merge it?" (i.e., "Can I delete this branch?"),
along with creation times and last modified times, I think would be
helpful.

I find that a nice 'gitk branch...origin' answers most of those for me
(it's everything in both branches going back to the last time they
merged).

Hmm, perhaps I should learn to use gitk more, though I must admit
to being somewhat of an anti-GUI bigot (i.e., lazy).

given that we had someone post a tool to the list that creates ascii-art merge 
diagrams, I wonder if it would scratch anyone's itch to make an ascii output 
version of gitk?

the code posted was limited to 26 merges, but it would probably be easy enough 
to do two-letter nodes (although at that point do you _really_ want it on a text 
screen ;-)
