Let me try to draw that differently, and tell me if I understand it correctly:


 ---+--------------------------+---------------------- fire-hose
     \                          \
 --+  +-----+--------+--------+  +-----+--------+---- leaky-faucet
    \        \        \        \        \        \
 -+  +-----+  +-----+  +-----+  +-----+  +-----+  +- dripping-bucket
   \        \        \        \        \        \
    5.0.1    5.0.2    5.1.0    5.1.1    5.1.2    5.2.0


The difference is that I removed what seems to be merges in your original. 
There is actually no merges displayed on this graph, Just the branches. 
The merges are hidden.

But if we were to show the merge, it would go from bottom to down, right?
Like this: (merges represented by /)


 ---+--------------------------+---------------------- fire-hose
   / \  /   /   /  /  /  /  / / \  /  /  /  /  /  / 
 --+  +-----+--------+--------+  +-----+--------+---- leaky-faucet
  / \  / / / \  / / / \ / /  / \  / / / \ /  / / \
 -+  +-----+  +-----+  +-----+  +-----+  +-----+  +- dripping-bucket
   \        \        \        \        \        \
    5.0.1    5.0.2    5.1.0    5.1.1    5.1.2    5.2.0


Right?


I realise not everyone has a decent mail client that shows fixed size font, so 
there is a link: http://paste.kde.org/530120/
