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.
