Default output format should not change (much) from version to version, or from machine to machine (because of different ~/.gitconfig) for that matter. I don't want to type "git log" on somebody else's machine and have a big surprise. You _can_ customize output but that should be explicit. If you want good defaults, that's what aliases are for. I personally rarely type "git log". I have "l", "lp", "l1" and other aliases for my everyday use. -- Duy
