Description

Description

Add a indent for transitive dependencies when running paket update. It is possible to get this from the paket.lock file, but it would be nice to get this kind of dependency-graph when running paket.update.

Research direction

Start by running paket update and compare its dependency output with the hierarchy shown in paket.lock. Trace the command's output path and determine where direct and transitive dependencies are listed. Done means transitive dependencies appear indented beneath the referenced package as in the expected example.
