doc/pretty-formats: explain shortening of %gd
The actual shortening rules aren't that interesting and probably not worth getting into (I gloss over them here as "shortened for human readability"). But the fact that %gD shows whatever you gave on the command line is subtle and worth mentioning. Since most people will feed a shortened refname in the first place, it otherwise makes it hard to understand the difference between the two.

- '%gD': reflog selector, e.g., `refs/stash@{1}` or

`refs/stash@{2 minutes ago`}; the format follows the rules described

- '%gd': shortened reflog selector, e.g., `stash@{1}` or

`stash@{2 minutes ago}`
|

for the `-g` option. The portion before the `@` is the refname as
|

given on the command line (so `git log -g refs/heads/master` would
|
||||
yield `refs/heads/master@{0}`).
|
||||
- '%gd': shortened reflog selector; same as `%gD`, but the refname
|
||||
portion is shortened for human readability (so `refs/heads/master`
|

becomes just `master`).
