Actually, I'm not I completely understand why this isn't:

  $ shepherd info -t vdi -f tree john
  john---[tag_1]-+-[tag_2]---HEAD
                 +-[tag_3]
                 +-[tag_4]

or

  $ shepherd info -t vdi -f tree john
  john---[tag_1]-+-[tag_2]
                 +-[tag_3]
                 +-[tag_4]---HEAD

Best wishes,

Chris.
