The commits have been renamed to start the oldest commit with "A"
and working up from there. Also, this removes some commits so the graph
is simpler. Finally the graph has been reversed in direction to make it
more like gitk.

This was created after some discussion in #git about how this was confusing.
The consesus was that this example is better.
How is this a vast improvement?

I could see that inverting it top-to-bottom would
be more consistent with gitk or show-branch output.
Your example doesn't have a 3-parent commit, though,
and it isn't _that_ much simpler otherwise...

So this is really better _how_?

Oh, right, of course.  It removes my name.  Got it. :-)
