Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the --pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs. This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats. There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to the 'raw' format.

--pretty[='<format>']::
|
|
|
|
Pretty-prints the details of a commit. `--pretty`
|
|
without an explicit `=<format>` defaults to 'medium'.
|
|
If the commit is a merge, and if the pretty-format
|
|
is not 'oneline', 'email' or 'raw', an additional line is
|
|
inserted before the 'Author:' line. This line begins with
|
|
"Merge: " and the sha1s of ancestral commits are printed,
|
|
separated by spaces. Note that the listed commits may not
|
|
necessarily be the list of the *direct* parent commits if you
|
|
have limited your view of history: for example, if you are
|
|
only interested in changes related to a certain directory or
|
|
file. Here are some additional details for each format:
|
|
|
|
* 'oneline'
|
|
|
|
<sha1> <title line>
|
|
+
|
|
This is designed to be as compact as possible.

|
|
The 'raw' format shows the entire commit exactly as
|
|
stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are
|
|
displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or
|
|
--no-abbrev are used, and 'parents' information show the
|
|
true parent commits, without taking grafts nor history
|
|
simplification into account.
