Ok, I'm not going to belabor the point, but for the most part, the
requests in our particular domain are separate. A developer for the
most part works only on files that other developers are not working on.

There are exceptions to this, but for the most part this is true..
Hence, most of the time there will be no conflicts.

Anyways, I'll try to improve on your script, but it looks like what I
want to do.

hmm. Is there a simple method to get this graph? I'm assuming that you
would have to get all the local commits and compare them to the remote
commits, and only merge the branches that have commits not yet 
merged..
