About

The commit log (log or commit hisotry) is a directed acyclique graph of commit.

Example of commit log: 

CA1--CA2--CA3 <-- Branch A (last commit CA3)
        /
 C1--C2--C3 <-- master (last commit C3)
        \
         CB1--CB2 <-- Branch B (last commit CB2)

Each leaf commit is a branch.

Each time a commit is performed a node in the log graph is added.
