The git log documentation says "The default option is 'short'." This is wrong. After testing, the default value of '--decorate' is 'auto', not 'short'.

There is no difference between 'auto' and 'short' in terminal, but there is a significant difference in how they behave in the shell.The information generated by the 'short' can be saved in shell variables, while the 'auto' can't.

Please use your real name and wrap your commit message at 50
characters for subject line and 72 characters for body.

I think the case here was Andy forwarded this patch from someone, which happened to be also himself. Maybe that From: line above can be removed, unless that he forwarded from other people (in which From: line must be preserved).
