A tooltip is what I'd suggest - it's much easier to implement (the 
graph is not really suitable for resizing one of the boxes as all 
others would have to shift to make space, etc.) and it will give you 
the information if you're interested.

I still think, adding the name and date to the revision box may be a 
good option, since these are details that are of known size (i.e. small 
enough to keep the general tree structure visible) yet they might be 
helpful when quickly browsing through the tree. Also, I'd at least 
display them conditionally based on the setting of a persistent bool 
value, even if that option is not [yet] exposed in the UI...

Nothing planned from my end at the moment...
