Yeah, you are right, one easily could. And in fact I end up doing
"fuller" myself occasionally, because I check peoples commit
timestamps (some people have a nasty habit of rebasing when they
shouldn't).
So it's not just the medium format that would want detab by default,
it's "full" and "fuller" too (but probably not "raw": that indents the
message too, but the only real reason to use "raw" is for scripting).
So it would probably be better to make it a separate flag, and not tie
it to a particular log format (and just make the log format set the
default).
