You _can_ set a custom instruction format using the config variable:
`rebase.instructionFormat`.  With this, you can align columns using
the normal git log format.

For example, I personally use this as my instruction format:

    [%an%<|(64)%x5d %s

While, this won't always align perfectly, it may help scratch your itch.
