I agree. This was just to get the code into main line.
There are a couple of outstanding issues
* Behaviour on large repositories > 10,000 changesets: The computation could
be changed to a lazy aproach if needed.
* Respect named branches: The current algorithm follows the primary parent
as long back as possible, ignoring change of branch name. This sometimes
causes a branch to steal some other older branch name. A simple fix would be
to let change of branch name toggle a change of branch.

I think it is patch #4 that shows how to activate the UI. It is very similar
to the existing graph function and could be made to have an identical
interface. This way it would be a matter of toggling between graph
algorithms.
I find the current toolbar an improvement over the drop down, but still a
bit confusing. Maybe we should make a new design for the toolbar, and then
modify the filters to match this new design.
