Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I use tig to see where my branch is relative to another branch (typically main). I'd like to switch to gitui because it parses large git histories much faster, but I need to be able to see tags and branch heads in the log view.

Describe the solution you'd like

Display tags and branch heads in the log view.

Additional context

The same repo in gitui and tig.

tig shows the tags and branch heads in orange.

tags should be displayed already in the log view, can you double check?

It does show the tags currently in bold - but bold text is hard to differentiate from the regular commit message to me.
Also not seeing the branch names makes orienting inside the log browser more cumbersome than it needs to me
So i would support the implementation of this feature
Thanks

Perhaps tags are shown, but as shown in my screenshots, branch heads are not.

I think both tags and branch heads need to be clearly discernible at a glance, like in tig.

Thanks
