Pro Git: text-sourced commit-diagram toolchain research (not for merging)

Text-sourced commit diagrams for Pro Git — toolchain research (NOT a proposal to merge)

Status: exploratory research, not a decision. Nothing in progit/progit3 is changed. This gist exists so the findings and prototype renders are reviewable outside a chat transcript.

Repo state referenced below: progit/progit3@c9850b7

Caveat: Source Code Pro isn't installed on the machine that produced these renders, so every image below — including the "original" renders — fell back to a substitute font. Treat all shape/layout/color comparisons as valid; don't judge letterforms.
