I've made the date shorter, it'll save us 15 columns.

That's only displayed if the file has been renamed at some point (some 
revisions are from different paths). But when it is, there's no way to 
turn it off.

Or rather there is: using the -c flag, but then it uses tabs in the 
output, and they make columns not always line up.

Maybe we could remove the file paths in a vc-run-delayed block. Should 
we worry that someone might find them useful?

We could replace the names with full email addresses, but those are even 
longer, at times.

Maybe it is, but it's a minor problem compared to the other fields. Also 
there's no way to turn it off.
