Hi Michael, The commits are walked from the heads, starting on master. Once a commit is assigned to a branch, it stays there. So the diagram would have a different aspect if the heads were walked in a different order. David (in CC) is the one to ask for details, he's still struggling to get a better render than what we have right now.
