interaction between --graph and --simplify-by-decoration

Hello,

  I've found that in some cases the --graph and
--simplify-by-decoration don't work well together. If you do this in
the git.git repository:

$ git log --graph --simplify-by-decoration --oneline v1.6.3.3
* cff4231 (tag: v1.6.3.3) GIT 1.6.3.3
* 6c7f58d (tag: v1.6.3.2) GIT 1.6.3.2
* 4774780 (tag: v1.6.3.1) GIT 1.6.3.1
* f01f109 (tag: v1.6.3) GIT 1.6.3
*   3536ae3 Sync with GIT 1.6.2.5

you can see that f29ac4f looks like it does not have any parents while
the correct parent is 66996ec which seems to have no children. But if
you omit the --oneline you can see that there are a lot of "root"-like
commits (f01f109, a48f5d7, f29ac4f,...).

gitk gets it right, and I've test also the first commit with both
flags and it happens the same.

Thanks,
Santi
