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...
