How do I clear a custom log format?

We have a utility rake script used by multiple devs in our department. Part of the script involves grabbing some data from git, and it's done by running git log and parsing the results. In order to get around a problem where a dev might have a custom log format configured, we were using --pretty='' to clear formats.

This worked with git 1.9.3, but recently I updated to git 2.2.1 and it doesn't work the same way at all.

Ultimately the solution is going to be using something like Rugged to get the data we need instead of parsing log output, but in the short term, is there an option to add to git log to clear custom formats set by the user?

The documentation notes that:

When omitted, the format defaults to medium.

so simply set it explicity to medium to override individual format.pretty settings.
