There are realistic uses for more even than that. I’ve worked with a system of pre-production deploying where you labelled your PR/MR/whatever-you-call-it “include-in-beta” or whatever, and the beta branch would be reconstructed to be an octopus merge of the production branch and all include-in-beta heads. (When I came to the process, it was doing sequential merges, which got very slow when you had a whole bunch of work backing up that you couldn’t deploy to production just yet, so I turned it into a single octopus merge which was much, much faster, only falling back to sequential merges if the octopus merge failed, so that it could point out which MR conflicted. I don’t remember how high the numbers ever got, but I think it went beyond 66 at times, even with only a couple of dozen developers.) Graph log visualisation was certainly fairly difficult to make much of, but it wasn’t generally intended to be made much of, since it was basically a deployment implementation detail.
