I could do that! That will make them a little longer on the display, but not 
much more.

That's a cool idea, but that would require significant
modifications of the Gource program. Gource is open source software,
so it's possible, but that's more than I plan to do.

If you feel like contributing the Gource project to add that, I suspect
they'd love it. Repo is here: https://github.com/acaudwell/Gource

Adding the dates will hopefully partially compensate for the lack of that.

Good idea.

None of this is *necessary*. But I thought including the labels
would make it easier for people to see or verify the information,
in case they were interested. Labels are short, so it doesn't take much space.
