From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> The config. variable is honored only by log. Other log family commands including show, shortlog and rev-list are affected only from the equivalent command line option (i.e. --merges=). Since these commands are somehow different representations of log command, we like to have the same behavior from them as we do from log itself. However, to not break the default output of them, we do not consider the the config. var. Other log-family commands format-patch and cherry ignore the option altogether (i.e. both on command line and on config settings).
