You know, other people are working on _accelerating_ git log as we speak! And really, while I can understand that the OP wanted to hide the information, I am really against that. For example, when I see a log with git-svn footers, it gives me _additional_ information which I actually like (it tells me where these commits really come from). If they do not need bidirectional, they can skip those footers. But I do agree that it is better to put the information into the same objects rather than notes, lest the information get out-of-sync.
