I'll do this gitk jump very often, too. Just to get the big picture where my
branches are (inside the commit graph). As they stay normaly on the tip, I
exit gitk long before it reached the root commit. What I'd like to have is
something which shows me _visually_ the the branches, e.g.

master
| next			commit comment for next
o  |		commit comment for master~1
|  o			commit comment for next~1
o  |	[ ... guess whats next :-)		you get the idea ...]
|  o

git show-branch?

--b.

No. git-show-branch produces output like the snippet below, which is totally
non obious to me. Yes, I could figure out what it means, but why the hell
_should_ I if there are tools for which you have to look just for a second
on the ouput to _fully_ understand whats happening?

Yeah, I find it pretty opaque too.--b.
