Re: gitk layout bug

I'd be interested to know if you can trigger it with the "dev" branch
of gitk, too.  The dev branch doesn't use --topo-order or
--date-order, but instead does the topological sort itself, so the
cold-cache case is a lot faster (and the hot-cache case goes just as
fast as before).  And because I can now reorder the commits, I can put
each open-circle commit just after the last merge that has it as a
parent, which ends up looking much nicer too.

It is better, but sometimes the layout seem to be a bit too
"aggressively cleaned up": there are just merges and arrows pointing
in all directions but very few of real information.
