title: The shortest possible output from git log containing author and date
body: <p>How can I show a git log output with (at least) this information: </p>
  
  <pre><code>* author
  * commit date
  * change
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want it compressed to one line per log entry. What's the shortest possible format for that?</p>
  
  <p>(tried <code>--format=oneline</code> but that does not show the date)</p>
