Reordering main repo?

[Adrian Buehlmann]

Hi Matt and list

Maybe this is a little bit silly, but...

I've noticed that the graph of the main mercurial repo [1] as of
revision 47ce7a3a1fb0 currently looks a bit ugly because there are
quite a couple of vertical lines (10) caused by a recent series
of merges.

See sceenshot:

I've asked myself how this happened and if this could be improved.

As an experiment, I then started doing a couple of incremental pulls
into a new clone, trying to reorder the sequence of revisions in the
repo a bit.

I've pushed the resulting repo to [2].

The graph of that "reordered" repo looks like this:

Would it make sense to replace the main mercurial repo data with that
reordered repo?

(If I do a fresh clone of [2] the "nice" new graph is preserved)

My reordered repo [2] would have only 4 vertical lines in the graph of that
recent merge series, compared to 10 in the current main repo.
