Ascii Git Graph to Png

Generates nice picture of the graph drawn in ascii art style. They say picture is worth more than a thousand words, so here you go:

Input:

			origin/head origin/master
			          \ /
			     HEAD-(D)-master 
			         / | \
			       (B)(C) v1.0     
			        | /          
			       (A)         
			        |     
			       ---
