The svn histories are about 1250 commits each. The cherry-pickings are
about 350 commits each. This gives histories running in parallel for
long distances. Add to this gitk's tendency to change lanes at every
occasion: There's no chance to get multiple screen shots (the interesting
branch/merge-points, as I described in the thread referenced above) in
sync. There's many opportunities to get confused. At least for me, as a
newbie to git.
I agree that gitk's lane-changing can be a bit confusing. Could you
try making a slightly modified version of your script, where you only
cherry-pick one or two commits in each direction? That should be
functionally identical, but a much simpler diagram.
