Well, incidentally I found this answer to an unrelated question, where I discovered git-cola adds a cola module to git (git cola ..., git help cola). Then I checked through git help cola but didn't see what I was looking for.
But then I noticed the viewer had gitk at the end of the title bar.
So I just typed gitk on the command line and it worked. Not too experienced with git and related tools, so I didn't know that existed.
So to answer my initial question more specifically (at least for Git Cola 2.5):
Branch → Visualize Current Branch...: gitk
Branch → Visualize All Branches...: gitk --all
Bonus: Visualize a specific other branch: gitk <branchname>
Bonus: View → DAG...: git dag
I do not know if gitk came with git-cola, or if it's its own thing, or really how I got it. Same deal with the DAG tool.
