Hi Brad,

Yes, I often narrow to the branch like that but that hides the context of
activity on other branches I might be interested in. When scrolling down
through a busy timeline the visual clue of which line belongs to which
branch would be useful to me. I have one section on a timeline with 16
parallel lines and no visual hint as to which is which branch.

Just my $0.02 ...
