When doing git log --decorate --oneline --graph in one of our repositories shortly before Christmas, we found that the following structure had appeared (rotated to emphasize the tenuous festive theme):

redacted git log output, rotated to look like a Christmas tree

How did this pattern in the commit graph arise?

This is deliberately somewhat silly, of course, but there's a interesting point here — it's often difficult to see how to interpret particular patterns in the commit graph when you see them in you git history browser.
