log --graph is probably useless for the FreeBSD repo, as we don't have 
any other development branches other than main. Stable and co are just 
receiving cherry-picks and vendor branches don't see any "development" 
per se.

Only merges between user/projects and main would be of interest, but 
they are littered with "IFC" merges and make everything a thousand times 
worse, so I'm not recording all those IFCs as merges.
