As I've spent some time in testing the --graph functionality I'm
spamming my discoveries here.

When limiting the log output to a subdirectory or to a file the graph
becomes quite hard to understand. Probably the easiest way to
demonstrate my point is to compare side by side (for example)

  git log --graph --pretty=oneline -- Documentation/
 
and

  gitk -- Documentation/

in the Git repository. gitk draws lines between commits even when they
are not in direct parent-child relationship (i.e. there is longer series
of commits between them). With log --graph it's hard to tell which
development line some commits come from.

The whole-repository log graphs seem to work nicely though.
