Well, then I simply don’t agree that `git log --oneline --graph` is “really, really bad”. Clunky? Sure, but it suffices to visualize simple branching patters.

Well, then I simply don’t agree that `git log --oneline --graph` is “really, really bad”. Clunky? Sure, but it suffices to visualize simple branching patters. And no visualizer suffices for gnarly graphs (like a long-lived topic branch that has repeatedly merged in upstream), because the building a mental model of a complex history is difficult even if you can see it.
