while I can understand your desire to have these settings remembered
between sessions, there are some concerns about that:
some of those options require a *lot* more CPU time than the others.
And I'd like to have the default graph use as little CPU time as
possible. Only if the user *really* wants this, he can then enable
those options in the graph. But I don't want them enabled when the
graph first starts up.

Sorry, but I would never, ever store a zoom value. That would only be
of (very little) use if you would show the graph every time for the
very same url, but even then it wouldn't be very useful.

Bad idea. This is a setting which may be nice in your small
repository. But try that once on the TSVN repo - you would be glad if
that setting isn't remembered between sessions.

Ok, these I admit would be nice to have remembered.

But not this - it requires a lot of CPU time. You should only activate
this if the default revision graph has a lot of cross-lines shown.
