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.

Ah, but it does affect --format.  When Nanako wrote commit 3a4c1a5
(Add --format that is a synonym to --pretty, 2009-02-24), the new
option made me very happy.  And since then it has remained a synonym.

Cheers,
