This can definitely be caused by unlabeled branches.  It can also be

attempt this.
It would be nice to be able to exclude the vendor branch if only 
the initial commit was made on it (or maybe handle it better, by 
remapping the commits to the main branch when they match).

I have tested this on my repository and currently gitk draws 
large 'railroad switching stations' because many tags have the 
vendor branch as a parent (and in some cases also the parent branch, 
in addition to the parent commit).
