Wow that was fast! Thanks for the help.
For those who care: I use it in a script to extract the log title of commits between certain tags. And to compile a simple log history of what has changed between tags. It was a bit more tricky than I initially thought it would be, because of merges. So what I do basically is to do a git log A..B where A and B are two of the tags I found using --decorate. My problem was that my script got confused when I had braces in the log title. That was why I wanted to use format in the first place. I know there is a web interface to git which probably does all that, but I wanted to compile an as simple as possible text file.
