I played with this a long time ago - what I did is to connect all "out of branch" nodes that are on the graph together with their nearest ancestor by breadth-first search. This winds up sucking for the mainline branch (you get about 37 lines heading down the graph at any one time), but for side branches I think it works out quite nicely to show some of the structure that's not on the graph. Attached is the .dot file for net.venge.monotone.lua-testsuite. The dotted lines show out-of-branch relationships. -bcd -- *** Brian Downing <bdowning at lavos dot net>
