FR: SVG output to include text, commit hashes etc

[positron96]

I am looking for a tool to generate an image of a git graph. It looked like this program would do what I need as the screenshots show very good-looking graphs, but its SVG output is missing a lot of what it shown in terminal (i.e. only the graph is present, no commit messages, hashes, etc).

PR for this would be welcome. This require some knowledge of how to format and place text in SVG.

Unfortunately, I don't speak Rust. However, SVG has been around for a long time, so I'd expect LLM to give decent information about the format (couple days ago I was able to create a simple SVG generator this way).

It might be not related to this issue, but maybe can use "data-xxx" attributes (See data-* - SVG | MDN) to add some metadata to svg nodes as a workround?

Something like:

<circle /* ... */ data-commit-hash="xxx" data-commit-title="xxx" data-authors="xxx, yyy"/>

I think the commit hash info will be very useful. Then we can do some post processing on the generated svg and make use of the metadata.
