I decided to delete a few branches from a (personal project) repository of mine that were merged into master after confirming on #git that leftover branches aren't really necessary.

However, gitk's visualisation of my repository's history as a result has been completely screwed up.

Basically something like this:

With those branches from commits appearing out of nowhere eventually going back into some other commits up ahead. A merge did not occur at all of the points, and I only had around 5 extra branches.

Is this normal? Is there any fix for this?
