To help make the ellipses more visible, you could put them in their own
<span>  and let the skin figure out what looks best.  Also, instead of
using "...", what about "[+]"?

Something that I consider a functional inconsistency with the current
implementation is that after the "..." is clicked on, there is no way to
hide the now visible details.  A possible solution would be have a "[-]" to
re-hide the info.

Another issue that I noticed with timeline?commentformat=2 is the the hash
does not always appear at the end of the commit message.  Take this commit
line as an example: "Edit [a46b9e77]: Edit check-in comment. •••"
