Ignoring of the '--date' may want to be eventually fixed, but for an initial cut, using %as in the canned format is a good approach for expediency. I thought that %h can be told to give arbitrary long hash with --abbrev=<n>, up to n==40 (or the number of bytes the hash of your choice has), so I am not sure if `--no-abbrev-commit` is worth mentioning. I do not think I understand what you wanted to do by using `--walk-reflogs` with the format at all, either. Thanks.
