Actually, I find the graph of emacs-24 to be confusingly obscure.  See
the attached screenshots of "bzr qlog", where simple merges from (the
old) emacs-24 are now displayed as something utterly weird, and
backports from trunk look weirder still.

But since Stefan made it clear, both in the past and now, that he
isn't bothered by these "minor details", I see no reason to discuss
this any further.
