Didn't you say you wanted to see at a glance which commit comes later?
The above gives you that information: we are 5712 commits past release
emacs-24.3-ann and the SHA1 of the commit starts with 478ff9c (where to
truncate the SHA1 can be controlled by the --abbrev option).

You have that information, plus some more.  If you really just want the
(abbreviated) SHA1, then:

git show --format=format:%h --no-patch

does that without much fuzz (if you want a trailing newline, then the
format should be "%h%n".
