Would be useful, though I dunno what you'd bind it too... at some point having too many bindings for essentially-similar-commands becomes kind of annoying/confusing. I don't really like the default --pretty=oneline format though, as it wastes too much space on the hash, and doesn't show a date (which I find very useful in looking at logs). Here's what I use (with my own "slog" alias): --date=short --pretty=format:"%h %ad %s" --abbrev-commit [note there are _two_ spaces between fields, which makes the result much more readable than one, I think] -Miles -- Suburbia: where they tear out the trees and then name streets after them.
