Now I remember why I've quit with git-log: due to a big performance regression under Windows.

I've made some tests on a git tree copied under Windows:

running:  git rev-list --header --parents --boundary HEAD > tmp.txt

1,38s 1,37s 1,39s

then running: git log --pretty=raw -z --parents --boundary HEAD > tmp.txt

8,87s 8,87s 8,86s 8,86s

So at the end git-log seems 6,4 times slower the git-rev-list !

This would mean the end of the story for me.
