I thought libgit2 would already give you all the information you need.

Putting everything in columns is my thing :) We can do something like
that. It should not be so hard to put titles on top and draw some
lines, I think, if you set fixed column widths. I'm just not sure if

(besides git-log --oneline with customizable columns)?
