Yes, it as added in commit v1.5.5-rc0~57^2 (log/show/whatchanged:
introduce format.pretty configuration, 2008-03-02):

    When running log/show/whatchanged from the command line, the user m=
ay want
    to use a preferred format without having to pass --pretty=3D<fmt> o=
ption
    every time from the command line.  This teaches these three command=
s to
    honor a new configuration variable, format.pretty.

    The --pretty option given from the command line will override the=20
    configured format.

I use it to mess with line wrapping; that it=E2=80=99s possible is very=
 nice.
Thanks, Renquan.
