Yep, that's mine.

Actually, it was you Christian, who was describing the git graphs as train tracks and prompted me to do this.

vbarbaresi, you should include the script or whatever method you used to generate the metro. I noticed you also used --allow-empty.

I will, it's a recursive Python script actually. I think the algorithm is suboptimal and a bit messy, I'll share as soon as I rewrite it.

I would like to read that article, comment whatever about git and graphs

Oh. It was an in-person conversation, or possibly a Facebook message that @bburky and I had at some point. Let me see if I can dig it up, but I think it was pretty much just a screenshot of gitk on a particularly complex graph.

(original poster here) I figured that someone might have already done it, but I didn't find these. It's surprising because I wrote an extremely similar README file!

However it looks like he wrote the solution manually, whereas I couldn't as it's way too complicated with Paris' metro system. I wrote a small algorithm (using Python) to create the graph. I'll probably publish it, after I clean the code a little.

Very similar, to the point that I initially thought you had copied/plagiarized it, until I went and checked.
