yes, in this view without the spacing or commit IDs, I agree. Would it
look better if the diff buttons were moved over towards the commits, or
would that get too ugly with multiple branches?

When seen in this view, the commits are a easier to follow:
https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?ymd=2017-11-28

The commit IDs are hidden away so we don't have to skip over them with
our eyes, but we're able to expose it if we want by clicking on the
commit.
