But this way it wouldn't be difficult at all:

==> git://repo.or.cz/git/spearce.git
  * (new)              gitk -> spearce/gitk
  * 1aa3d01..e7187e4   maint -> spearce/maint
  * de61e42..7840ce6   master -> spearce/master
  * 895be02..2fe5433   next -> spearce/next
  + 89fa332...1e4c517  pu -> spearce/pu
  * (new)              todo -> spearce/todo

(I don't know where to put the label 'branch'.)

BTW, I like the ID ranges, too, and have used the information
occasionally.
