Sep 12, 2012 at 21:59 comment added anon @Andrew Stacey. Sorry, I still don't understand the point of your post. And the implementation of how to fix the slanting arrows was already in the linked document long before you posted your diagram.
Sep 12, 2012 at 21:11 comment added anon @Andrew Stacy. Except for the line thickness, the color, and the "snake", which are totally different from your diagram, the code in the linked document is very standard tikz code, so I don't understand the point of your last comment. Incidentally, your diagram is very similar to the original "diagramme du serpent" in Bourbaki 1961, and so illustrates how to get a classical diagram in tikz, whereas the other diagram illustrates what is possible in tikz (which, after all, is the point of the document).

Sep 12, 2012 at 15:07 comment added Suvrit @Lennart: but i think Andrew's drawing looks more elegant :-)
Sep 12, 2012 at 14:47 comment added Joël Oh, 4 votes to close !!! I don't see any reason why this interesting question should be closed. I think there are to many easy-closers around.
Sep 12, 2012 at 11:13 comment added Lennart Meier Nice, but the tikz-rendering of page 8 of jmilne.org/not/Mtikz.pdf seems to be even a bit more snaky (and was one of the reasons I switched to tikz).
