That wouldn't be hard to do, it's just a matter of finding which heads
are descendents of the selected commit.  I think that with heads, you
would want to see all the descendent heads, rather than just the
nearest ones (those that aren't descendents of another descendent
head) as I do with tags.  What do you think?  If one head is a
descendent of another, and both are descendents of the selected
commit, should I show both?

I intend to pull "new" into "master" shortly, assuming I don't get any
bug reports for the "new" branch. :)

If you pull my "new" into your "next", and you then pull your "next"
into your "master", and I pull my "new" into my "master", and you pull
my "master" into your "master", won't we end up with duplicate merges?
