So, are you saying when I diff I am looking at textual representations of the graphs? Which is fine, that is what I'd expect. It's how I'd implement it. But isn't that a huge clue about the fundamental weakness of graphical representation - as soon as you try to do anything nontrivial it's back to text. And back to text for a very good reason, not because the right git plugin hasn't been written yet.

One could write a real 2D graph diffing system, it is not inconceivable, at least. However, you won't get this for free by diffing a textual representation of the graph. One simple hack is to take each version, set transparency to 50%, and then overlay them.
