I don't know either. But first, please define "parent" here. What
exactly would be the parent of a node?
A node can have multiple lines go *to* it, and multiple lines going away
from it. So: what would be the parent in such a case?

Changing the menu text? If I can avoid that, I will.
Maybe a dialog box, asking if the user really wants to show that many
revisions (only shown if the number of revisions is > 1000)?
Hmm - it's worse: without doing the whole analyzing process, we don't
know how many nodes there will be. So changing the menu text is not
possible (we don't know the number until the user clicks on the menu).
And even the dialog isn't possible (or not with showing the number of
nodes that will be shown).
