Junio suggested a new option "--verbose-format" for branch some weeks ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/186727 I planned on working on it, but haven't found the time yet nor do I really know which way to go.? (pretty.c seems to be the right place for format code, but it's very commit format specific atm.)
