Thanks for the doc updates, I've applied them to master.

I'm not yet convinced that supporting multiple parents is worth
the complexity. How often do you get mails like this? What mail clients
have UI for replying to multiple messages? I'd have to fake up some
messages to actually see the full DAG support in action, so could you
post a screenshot of your code viewing a thread where the new display
helps?

Actually, I think the tig-style display is very interesting and could be
useful even without the generic graph support.
