The network is primarily intended to show fork-related relationships. i.e.
whose fork was created/merged at what point. In a way it's similar to the
branch handling in fossil's timeline. github's workflow encourages using
forks rather than branches (the end effect is similar, since a fork can be
merged in at any time).

It's possibly a case of "not missing what one never had."

Some tools, e.g. Google Code, offer the ability to move forward and
backward through commit numbers. e.g. see the links near the top/right of
this SVN browser:

https://code.google.com/p/v8-juice/source/browse/convert/include/cvv8/XTo.hpp?r=2070

But that's at the file level. It has a timeline-like view, but it's not
nearly as informative as fossil's:

https://code.google.com/p/v8-juice/source/list

(But it's easy enough to find the start of the project there.)

Haven't ever spent enough time in github to notice if/how it does something
similar.
