Take this git log --format="%C(auto) %h% ad%d% s%C(green)% aE" --graph --date=short

One might assume 5505e019c2 and 3e658f4085 are related. But git cat-file -p 5505e019c2 tree 546c6b71f01e7fd086c8adb832518240b71a9075 author sam swindell <xxxxxx@xxxx> 1404878701 -0400 committer sam swindell <xxxxxx@xxxx> 1404878701 -0400

Is there a way to have it look like:
| | | *  5505e019c2 2014-07-09 initial xxxxxx@xxxx
| | |
| | | *  3e658f4085 2019-09-10 (wiki/wip-citest, origin/wip-citest) Added defau
| | | *  ad148aafe6 2019-09-10 Added default CI/CD Jenkinsfile (from f7daf088)
Or 
| | | #  5505e019c2 2014-07-09 initial xxxxxx@xxxx
| | | *  3e658f4085 2019-09-10 (wiki/wip-citest, origin/wip-citest) Added defau
| | | *  ad148aafe6 2019-09-10 Added default CI/CD Jenkinsfile (from f7daf088)
