We do not pay attention to SO, and it is good you came here.

I think something along this line was raised as a possible enhancement on the list earlier. If we were to do so, we should not limit the enhancement only to "log/show" but to all the commands in the "log" family, and similarly, not only to "format", but to many common options.

Patches welcome.

Thanks.
