The other way would be stg like:
diff --git a/Documentation/pretty-options.txt b/Documentation/pretty-options.txt
index d78e121..9b6f389 100644
--- a/Documentation/pretty-options.txt
+++ b/Documentation/pretty-options.txt
@@ -1,5 +1,5 @@
--pretty[='<format>']::
---format[='<format>']::
+--format='<format>'::
Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium',
But I'd say it's simpler to be able to say "--format is an alias for
--pretty" than "--format is an alias for --pretty _except that ..._".
And actually,
git rev-list --format
is not that stupid if you read it as "list revisions and do some
formatting as you do it".
(but I don't care much either ;-) )
