Modified the graph drawing logic to colorize edges based on
parent-child relationships similiarly to gitk.

I like the colored graph very much, thanks. Unfortunately there are some
problems with aligning of log messages and headers. For example, try
this in git.git repository:


$ git log -1 --graph 796b137

*   commit 796b13781aecce551b8f92049a66646e60f31dce

Without colors or without your patch the alignment is correct:

$ git log -1 --graph --no-color 796b137

*   commit 796b13781aecce551b8f92049a66646e60f31dce

(Perhaps the "Merge:" header could have two spaces befor the data, but
this is  unrelated to --graph.)
