I think people should also learn about "--no-walk" (or the numberic
walk limiters) to the revision walking logic, because it can often be
useful.
IOW, if you only want the commit info, you can certainly use "git show
-s", but you can also use
git log --no-walk .. list of commits ..
or
git log -1 <single-commit>
to show a commit without any other details.
Basically, "git show" for a commit does what is mostly equivalent to
git log --cc --no-walk
although "git show" then has other features too (ie it shows non-commits etc).
