I tried running it on git.git :-)))) :-) Seriously, I find 'log --graph' is useful on projects where not everyone is an expert and things might go a little haywire here and there. People merge the wrong thing with the wrong other thing, maybe, and you want to see how precisely they got there. A project managed by git.gods can become a lot more complex and not have to actually care about this visualisation. Of course, gitk is really good and manages a lot more complexity, obviously, but I like 'log --graph' also. And I've sort of fallen in love with --simplify-by-decoration too. Very cool stuff.
