It's left as an exercise to the reader, since it's highly dependent on
the source control tool(s) you use. ;)

But as an example:

Mercurial has style templates[0], which allow customizing output of,
for example, the "hg log" command, which allows outputting branch
information for a given changeset. So, it's just a matter of creating
a style template that you can parse for your own needs.

A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start,
and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.
