It would not, since you do not have to say "--decorate" at all. However, if you do want the functionality this patch provides, you have to jump through hoops right now. ATM an alias is my work around, since I run 'master' as you requested:

git config --global alias.decoratelog '!sh -c
	"(case \"\$0\" in
		sh) git log --color;;
		*) git log --color \"\$0\" \"\$@\";;
	 esac) |
	 git -p name-rev --tags --stdin"'

Ugly, ain't it?

And I still have to look up at which release certain features were introduced every day.

Ciao, Dscho
