Well, you could draw them in javascript, using
http://www.walterzorn.com/jsgraphics/jsgraphics_e.htm :-)

Alternatively, you could use a fixed set of little images, a bar "|", a
dot "o" and branches like "Y", "7" and "\". Obviously, octopus-merges
are very difficult to draw using only those.

BTW, I tried searching on gitweb, and I think that found a problem, see:
http://ehlo.org/~kay/gitweb.cgi?p=git/git.git;a=search;s=check
At the bottom of the page, highlighting of the search term stops and the
commits are all the same color.
