We spoke about many ways of visually displaying forks/branches,
including tree views, and using voting procedures to recommend a
particular branch of a script the user.

In the end though, the most important thing is that Joe Schmoe user be
able to find the script that floats his boat, and linear historical
revisions is the simplest way to convey this.

Imagine Wikipedia if someone could branch an article if they didn't
like the way it was written?

In the end we'd like to tighten the already amazing Greasemonkey
community even more with an unprecedented, unselfish contribution and
collaboration on scripts, and general skipping and dancing all around
by everyone.
