Umm.  git-log is porcelain and we're allowed to change it.  Worse,
even the user can change it in very significant ways, just try:

  git config format.pretty email
  git log

For a better alternative, I'm afraid you'll either have to look to
git-rev-list (which also takes --pretty) or 'git cat-file --batch'.
