You _can_ set a custom instruction format using the config variable:
`rebase.instructionFormat`. With this, you can align columns using
the normal git log format.
For example, I personally use this as my instruction format:
[%an%<|(64)%x5d %s
While, this won't always align perfectly, it may help scratch your itch.
