Hello, It would be nice if... When searching for a repository, the results had some sort of indication of which project was the original. The master vampire, if you will, from which the others are descended.
It would also be nice if... When looking at a project, there was some sort of tree view (similar to the network graph) which shows the hierarchy of forked projects. (Master vampire at the root, of course) and a tag line which describes the focus of the fork. (or perhaps the most recent commit message) This would allow me, when searching for a project to know which one is the original, and which ones are the derivatives, and also get some idea of why the derivatives exist. Some could be solely to provide patches back to the root. While others might be taking the project in a new direction. It would be nice to have some idea of what that direction might be, without needing to hop to each project and read all the readmes. (I'd rather focus on a few readmes and go to them) I'm thinking of something less graphical than the network - which shows lots of commit points - and something more textual which could serve as a navigational aid. It might also be nice if... The fork tree could stay visible, as a navigation aid while browsing a forked project.
