Github Network Graph - Meaning of pointing arrow in the following diagram

I'm analyzing someone's Network Graph in Github and I have not been able to figure out what is going on in the 'development' branch in the following picture:

Network Graph

When the 'temp' branch is merged into 'development', two blue arrows end up pointing towards the next commit dot.

What is going on here?

If your local branch is behind origin and you try to push your commit it will make you pull your changes. If you do git pull --rebase git will rebase your commit to look like it was created after latest commit in origin producing a nice branchless sequence of commits. If you just do git pull you can get a local merge and this way get a branch that looks like this.

Without access to git log that's my best guess of what happened.
