Just to save others time to go spelunking in the list archive, "solutions" attempted and did not work in the past include (1) wasting a line to insert a "gap" in the output. (2) using marker different from '*' to mark each commit. If taking the latter approach, it needs to designed to work well with "boundary" and "left-right" options (the design to shift column would not have to worry about these, which is another plus). Thanks.
