Summary already sticks hints in parentheses sometimes on most lines, and
might start sticking them elsewhere. Whereas log has had a completely
rigid format for the parent line for 5 years. The only thing we've ever
changed there is adding branch:. That was introduced at the same time as
named branches and so only affects folks who start using named branches,
while old repos and their users' tools/scripts keep working.
