The 4.4 patch-path plot

This plot (generated with gitdm and Graphviz) shows the paths taken by patches merged during the 4.4 development cycle. Each arrow is annotated by the number of patches that took that path. The color coding simply indicates the more active paths. See this article for the accompanying text.
