We already have log --oneline --reverse and in my opinion it's enough.

This alias has too many personal-style options. The colors suited for dark background but not light (at least not at my light grey terminal). Why --date=relative? Why -n 30? Why not 10 or 50?

My opinion is that such an alias is ok in your personal ~/.gitconfig but not suitable for general public.

Having a good one line log alias is a real help, especially those new to git. The default behaviour hides many salient features of the current status, particularly branch names. IMHO this is a useful behaviour. However, feel free to reject the PR if you do not wish to adopt it.

As I'm just an occasional contributor and reviewer I can neither accept nor reject the PR.
