I guess this part is just so the next part can be done automatically?

I think this could be useful in general, however it might struggle
with already merged branches. I may be mistaken here, however I think
in general there is no way to specify which commits belonged to a
certain branch after they have been merged, as branch information is
not kept in the commit object. There may be some exceptions that make
it feasible at times, but a general solution would be to show any
merged branches as part of the same swim-lane, as per current
behaviour, but to have separate branch heads in different swim-lanes.
This would be a nice feature, and is similar to the behaviour in, for
example, Atlassian's Fisheye repository viewer and the GitHub network
view.
