Ok, I did a little more looking, and there is a --graph option available for git log (that also works with git log --pretty=oneline --graph). It tries to make a graph, more of a vertical thing (rather than horizontal). ATM, I am working my way through Ry's tutorial on git (which is helping me a lot, so far), but the point is that I currently have no branches (or, I'm not sure of the best terminology, maybe I should say I have only the MASTER branch?), and the graph isn't that helpful nor is it complex... But, it might be helpful with more branches, or give you an easy means to translate to the horizontal type diagram that you (and I) think is helpful...

(I'm not the op, and) I'm still learning git, but yesterday I was skimming (for another reason) man git log, and I saw some ASCII art diagrams--at the time, I assumed they could be generated by git. I haven't gone back to check, but I will at some point. They might have even been in the man git log section dealing with something like the criss-cross merge...

Re: [git-users] How to generate those horizontal history graphs?
The ascii-art is done using the technique / tool of keyboard, hand/eye coordination and mono-spaced editor ;-) [Unfortunately] As an aside, you will notice that most of the horizontal (left to right history) graphs are not of real history, but are of carefully selected examples designed to show some point, hence the hand-eye-brain coordination requirement. Even the ascii --graph can be poor relative to a hand tweaked one. Now if there were a way to add the right (that 'brain' input step) emphasis to -- graph then that would be a good improvement - e.g. a criss-cross merge (see 'git help merge-base').
