Git's log output is flexible, isn't it? It can be changed using a template.

It's feasible: just call Git twice and concat the results.

But I don't think it's a good idea to mix the results of two different

extra -dwim- command that makes the choice based on the word under point 
(and whether it's hexinumeric).
