Re: [RFC PATCH] show decorations at the end of the line

I think there are two potential patches:

  1. Add a custom-format placeholder for the --source value.
     This is an obvious improvement that doesn't hurt anyone.

  2. Switch --decorate to the end by default, but _not_ --source.

     This use case _could_ be served already by using a custom format
     with "%d". So it's really just a matter of having better-looking
     default.

Yes, and I agree it is a better default to have "--decorate" at the
end.

I do not mind having to use a custom format myself, but I suspect
that the default for "--source" is more useful to have it at the
beginning, because "--source" annotates each and every commit, as
opposed to "--decorate" that adds annotation few and far between.
