[PATCH] reflog: specify default pretty format in config

The output of git-reflog is currently only customizable by calling reflog with --pretty=... or overriding the default "oneline" pretty format in the configuration. To save typing, teach reflog to fall back to a default format specified in the config option "reflog.pretty" unless a different pretty format is given on the command line. (This is similar to the "format.pretty" option for git-log and git-show.) When this config option is not set, fall back to the old default of --pretty=oneline --abbrev-hash.
