It seems more natural to me to have mainline be a straight line
and then have each branch be cut out of mainline. Something like
this:

The intent is to make the release heritage clear, hence 5.1.50, 5.1.90, 5.1.91, 5.2, 5.2.1 are all in a straight line. That clarity is what the i18n group were asking for (but perhaphs not diagramatically :-).

Either way, I'll:

- strip out some of the mainline dates (no value add)
- add an <end-of-life> marker to the branch
- change <branch> to <gdb_5_2-branch> et.al.
