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,
+"Merge: " and the hashes 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
* 'oneline'
- <sha1> <title line>
+ <hash> <title line>
+
This is designed to be as compact as possible.
* 'short'
- commit <sha1>
+ commit <hash>
Author: <author>
<title line>
* 'medium'
- commit <sha1>
+ commit <hash>
Author: <author>
Date: <author date>
* 'full'
- commit <sha1>
+ commit <hash>
Author: <author>
Commit: <committer>
* 'fuller'
- commit <sha1>
+ commit <hash>
Author: <author>
AuthorDate: <author date>
Commit: <committer>
* 'email'
- From <sha1> <date>
+ From <hash> <date>
From: <author>
Date: <author date>
Subject: [PATCH] <title line>
* 'raw'
+
The 'raw' format shows the entire commit exactly as
-stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA-1s are
+stored in the commit object. Notably, the hashes are
displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or
--no-abbrev are used, and 'parents' information show the
true parent commits, without taking grafts or history
