I like the one-level-of-hierarchy thing ([format "pretty"] is ugly for a
number of reasons), but two problems with that specific name:
 - it says "log", while this effects more than the "log" command
 - it says "format", while this doesn't effect --format.

[pretty]
    changelog = ...

is not taken, and my only hesitation there is that some other config
option may want to be there. Still, it's what I'll call it in the next
version of the patch, unless there are specific objections. (which I
certainly may have already missed, as I've just switched mail clients
twice today)
