I do not know why you want to pile something like this into
builtin-log.  It would add maintenance burden and I do not see a
gain from it.

One beauty of git is being scriptable.  When somebody new asks
for something like this, I think it is much more productive to
demonstrate the power of scriptability than piling random crap
in the core.
