Re: [PATCH 3/4] --decorate now decorates ancestors, too

The option --decorate changed default behavior: Earlier, it decorated

	git log --decorate next master

will show "next", "next^", "next~2", ..., "master", "master^", ...
in parenthesis after the commit name.

I'm wondering how useful the default is.  The arguments get used for
two things; both for git-log to decide what revisions to display, and
which refs to decorate, right?  I'm not sure that overloading is such
a great idea.

Also, I note that "git log --decorate" does nothing at all.  Maybe it
would be better to keep the default to be "any-ref" instead of "given"?
