Heh, I do not care if you find "log -g" pretty, since I do not particularly find it pretty ("log --pretty=o --abbrev-commit -g" is probably prettier than "less").

I usually use "show-branch -g" myself while rewinding and rebuilding for a release, but my rewinds are lot more controlled than "oops, made a mistake" recovery schenario that triggered this discussion; for large logs (more than 25 entries) it is not very useful.
