Thanks for the prompt response! I tried immediately, it works just as you have pointed out. Just it seems coloring is not supported? probably because we're inside an editor? > This option is supported since Git 2.6. I missed it, what about including a note about this option as part of the comment in git rebase -i? since that's the place where people would most likely think about it? > Or are you interested in a command-line option that can change > the format on per-invocation basis?

Not much, for git log I'd rather setup an alias "git la", than having to remember various fields, colors, padding options to have a nice output.
