Re: [PATCH] rev-list: '--indent' oneline output

As a result, the output of
    git-rev-list --pretty=oneline --topo-order --indent
is formatted in a way that resembles merge summaries. All commits that
were pulled from a branch are indented with one additional space below
the summary of the merge commit.

I created the patch to illustrate how the history could be formatted to
replace summaries.

For example
     git-rev-list --pretty=oneline --topo-order --indent 404fdef2 |  
cut -d ' ' -f 2-
outputs
