No need for a Bugzilla entry. In fact, that's probably the worst place
to propose a new feature. This mailing list right here is the best
place to propose and discuss new features. It's where you'll get the
most informed audience and best feedback.

Treating templates without \n more consistently would be nice. I'm not
sure how to do it sanely though. If you can figure it out, great!

Also, I agree that backwards compatibility is probably not a huge
concern here. Anyone parsing "log -G" output is doing it wrong. Very,
very wrong. ;-)
