The text below visualize the problem.

See how difficult it is to see when one cset starts and another stops.
For the linux kernel the problem is not so big due to rather consistent use
of visible tags in first line.
Other repositories shows the issue much better.

Adding valign=top changes the text to this:

A more readable format in a text browser. And still OK in a graphic browser.
