OK.  The next issue is how to draw the cherry-pick merges.

Canvas drawing options are limited.  We cannot use the HTML <canvas>
element because the geniuses that designed it limited its size to
merely 32K pixels, which is nowhere near large enough for a long
timeline.  So currently, all drawing is done with long and thin <div>
elements.  Thousands and thousands of them on a longer timeline.  This
limits the drawing to solid lines with a "Manhattan Geometry".  Thin
gray lines, perhaps?

(Aside:  Back years ago when first implemented, drawing thousands of
long and thin <div> elements also turned out to be much faster than
using <canvas>.  Sigh.)

Does anybody have a mockup of what they think cherrypick merges should
look like?
