Ok so the big problem here is that unlike with diff which has support for line-prefixes already due to needing it for graph mode, I can't figure out where to get the prefix added for log output. Especially if we want it to be honored prior to the graph output. This seems like a much bigger task, which is better saved for future maybe?
