You could change the behaviour by counting the number of different
revisions and dividing the colour scale evenly between them. That
would work better in clustered logs, but might not suit everyone.
A slightly more complicated variant is to look at the gaps between
revisions and take the log of this. Big gaps would still look big, but
without compressing everything else down to nothing.
