And I can't get it out of my head. Might as well write it down. Check out

https://github.com/pclouds/git.git for-each-ref-pretty

It opens a hook in format_commit_message() to plug f-e-r's atom syntax
in. I didn't do extensive test or anything, just t6300. The %xx syntax
in for-each-ref might override some placeholders in pretty, I did not
check. You can add extra %(xx) on top as you have done. I still need
one more hook to support %>(*) with automatic width detection. After
that I'm quite confident we can kill -v/-vv code.
