The fugitive version of git log shows entries like this:

Whereas git log usually shows entries like this:
commit 3ad7eb55bb1db72125df258d3ee1afd12dca32a6 (HEAD -> TableGeometry, origin/x32util-main, x32util-main)

When outputting to a non-TTY, git log matches fugitive's behaviour:

IMO, fugitive should do at least one (ideally, both) of the following:
pass --decorate to git log by default
ideally, it should respect any explicit log.decorate config setting, but change log.decorate to short if none is specified vs. default auto
allow the user to customize the default arguments to git log via a g:fugitive_... global variable.
(This is probably typical of a class of bugs where fugitive's behaviour differs from what users expect due to git's defaults changing between TTY and non-TTY stdout/stderr; in case it's helpful, I've prepared a list of all of the places where git manpages mention "terminal": man-git-mentions-terminal.txt)
Aside, my thanks to @tpope and all contributors for a wonderful tool!
