Is that really necessary? I mean, the symbols should be enough.

Done in revision 6259.

The graph doesn't scale the x-axis. It just draws them one after
another. So the time were there weren't commits, the labels overlap
because there are so many of them (without a line/bar which takes space,
it uses less x-space). That's why you see that kind of graph.

Since I'm not the graph wizard, I agree completely :)
This actually means that I don't have to do it myself.
