How do you define 'lowest' in this case? especially
without walking the whole graph from the initial
commit, which is very slow in large repos?
It was initially being done by 'smallest number of
steps from the starting points', but that's not
correct, because in the graph above, the shortest sum
of steps goes via 'h' to 'a'.

That's definitely not intended.

Not yet. Tweaking repainting to sum the weight when
colors meet seems like it may fix it, but I haven't
thought it through yet.
