Actually, I think one problem here is that anybody why looks at just the
gitweb interface may not realize how git works.
If you use gitk as your primary way of learning about a git problem, the
whole time issue just goes away, because gitk shows the _real_
relationships so well.
I used gitk in all my initial explanations of git, because it turned a
fairly abstract "here, let me explain how it works" into a "See? Look at
this" kind of situation.
True that. I would have had a hard time introducing git as The SCM in
the company if it hadn't been for gitk and qgit. They both let you just
skip over 90% of that initial steep part of the learning curve and jump
straight to work.
I think gitweb is great (in a way I have _never_ felt about any of the CVS
web interfaces I have ever seen), but gitweb doesn't really explain how
things work as well as gitk does.
Someone started hacking on a web-thingie to show the graph. Whatever
happened to that? If it's no longer alive, perhaps we could add some
qgit/gitk screenshots to the git wiki/docs so the people who spend most
of their lives in browsers can get some visual aid in understanding the
way git works.
