In particular, usually dependency trees are deep and wide, while git histories are... relatively short and less complex.&lt;p&gt;Git ASCII graphing format is perfect for denoting graphs without ambiguity, but it becomes too long for most complex graphs, and that&amp;#x27;s where the paper comes in.&lt;p&gt;Just a rant, not really super-related... but worth a mention.&lt;p&gt;[0]: &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.idav.ucdavis.edu&amp;#x2F;~ki&amp;#x2F;publications&amp;#x2F;graphterm-preprint.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.idav.ucdavis.edu&amp;#x2F;~ki&amp;#x2F;publications&amp;#x2F;graphterm-prepr...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
