Initials are shorter and often unique enough in a
per-project setting, so they can be used to give a more
informative version of --oneline.
The 'S' in the placeholder is for "short" (and 's' is
already taken by DATE_SHORT), but obviously that's pretty
arcane.
Possibly there should be more customization of initials,
asking for only 2-letter initials, etc.

When I first tested it with "git log --format=%aS" I had to wonder "who
the heck is ntnd?". So using only the first-and-last would match the git
project's practice better, at least.
