It’s been almost 6 months since we released the network graph and since then it has become an indispensable part of the GitHub experience. Over that period I’ve been compiling a list of things that would make the graph even better. More precise and less confusing portrayal of merge and branch structure. The ability to pull a specific range of commits in for drawing, resulting in blazingly fast incremental renders. Data caching so to remove the overhead of just-in-time graph construction. A boatload of bug fixes. And finally, the ability to actually draw the Rails, Linux, and Git networks!
