It would not, since you do not have to say "--decorate" at all.  However, 
if you do want the functionality this patch provides, you have to jump 
through hoops right now.  ATM an alias is my work around, since I run 
'master' as you requested:

git config --global alias.decoratelog '!sh -c
	"(case \"\$0\" in
		sh) git log --color;;
		*) git log --color \"\$0\" \"\$@\";;
	 esac) |
	 git -p name-rev --tags --stdin"'

Ugly, ain't it?

And I still have to look up at which release certain features were 
introduced every day.

Ciao,
Dscho
