May be you should read also previous paragprahs.
I wanted to say without showing externals and merge tracking the revision
graph is simple tree - that means no 'circles'. Only ways how to produce
circle in rev.graph are merge tracking, showing externals and showing
branched subtrees. Or am I missing something?
And subtrees of a tree could be collapsed easily, couldn't they?

Merge tracking would introduce circles into rev.graphs, so I suggested way
how to handle this case if ever happened. That's all.
