I'm don't think that a flag to "commit" is the right place -- I want
this change to take effect retroactively on old repositories. Also, a
flag at commit-time seems too inflexible -- why not postpone the
decision about the format of the log until the user actually asks for
it, rather than hard-coding it at commit-time?

I'd be fine with a flag to "log" if people think that's worth doing.
