It also seems to me like in the first graph, if you check out branch A from a date between C6 and C8, it will not contain the changes made in C6, which is inaccurate.
Well, strictly speaking both C4 and C6 are in branch A, so checking out something between the dates of C6 and C8 is ambiguous and you'd need to specify the left (C4) or the right (C6) branch before you get any meaningful snapshot. This sounds complicated, and it is, but it all depends on what happened back in the CVS days at the actual split. It just seems that what was done then actually *was* this complicated (shortly after the split).
