Order of the Butterfly

I want to do this:
Code:
git --no-page log --oneline --format=%cn%H
lists all commits , line by line. Name of committer, followed by the Commit Hash.
Problem is, that committer name can vary in length.
Thus I use the feature to pad a placeholder to a fixed size by adding spaces to the right.
Code:
git --no-page log --oneline --format=%<(30)cn%H
Shall make committer name columns fixed to size of 30 characters.
But MorphDOS interprets the < sign as input redirection.
Thus I need to escape it.
Escape character in DOS is *
Thus I tried *< , but no success.
For normal Amiga programs using ReadArgs() one could put the argument into " ".
The " will not become part of the value of the argument.
This also works with git.
However as an unix based program the " will become part of the value of the arguemnt.
Which of course I wouldn't like to have.
Code:
git --no-page log --oneline --format="%<(30)cn%H"
will escape the < for DOS, but it results in an output containing " at the start and end of any line.
Any ideas how to solve this ?
