Previously, specifying

 git log --pretty=format:'%H %s' --decorate

would calculate decorations, but not show them. You can now
do:

 git log --pretty=format:'%H (%d) %s' --decorate

to see them.


Wow that was fast! Thanks for the help.


For those who care:
I use it in a script to extract the log title of commits between certain
tags. And to compile a simple log history of what has changed between
tags. It was a bit more tricky than I initially thought it would be,
because of merges. So what I do basically is to do a git log A..B
where A and B are two of the tags I found using --decorate. My problem
was that my script got confused when I had braces in the log title. That was
why I wanted to use format in the first place. I know there is a web
interface to git which probably does all that, but I wanted to compile an as simple as possible text file.

Cheers,
Michael
