Description

Basically:

git log  --oneline --graph

but not as ASCII art in the R console but a graph, as a way to see comfortably the history of the project locally. The ASCII art generated by git is kinda hard to read when you have multiple branches.

Maybe this exceeds the purpose of the package, I want to know your opinion Norm. This is my first issue ever and I wish to contribute.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by inspecting gitR's existing R-console and Git integration, then evaluate how git log --oneline --graph could support a readable local history graph. The work is done only when the scope is agreed and the resulting graph behavior is clearly demonstrated.
