Just wondering if there have been any commits since you viewed the graph
between 1.2.6 and 1.3.0?
If not then something is amiss else see the generic answer below.

It seems many new users of the revision graph are asking much the same
question as to why they can not see all the revisions. The name itself
partly implies that it's about revisions, when of course it's to
illustrate the branch/copy history.
Is there a better name than "Revision Graph"?

The graph only shows the revisions where a copy has created a new branch
or tag and is folder centric. Apart from not showing the latest revision
applying to the tip of each branch the graph is very functional.

Anyone wanting to see *all* revisions on a graph should perhaps think
about what they would see if they did a checkout of the Apache project
and tried to view the graph. How much scrolling is required to traverse
the 50000+ revisions. Or APRI at 330,000 + revisions.
