Sorry, but there aren't convenient placeholders for that. There probably
should be.
As a workaround, you can get the reflog selector ("%gD"), and then
cross-reference it with the output of "git log -g". But obviously that's
inefficient and a giant pain. We really should have "%gn" and "%ge" for
the reflog name and email. And related date options, though annoyingly
"%gd" is already taken for the default format.
I doubt it would be a very big patch. Want to get your feet wet in git
development? :)
