Hello, I hope I got the In-Reply-To right, the message was sent before my subscription to this list.

And that can be very annoying when working on repositories with a history not formatted after the recommendations of git (empty line after the summary). Then the output of commands like "git log --pretty=oneline", "git format-patch" and "git show-branch" is unreadable. Sorry, I haven't tested your patch set, what is the output of git-shortlog like now? > For consistency and increased code reuse, change format: to do the > same as the other options. What's wrong with using the first line instead of the first paragraph for the other pretty options and for cases where only a small subject line is desired? A sentence would be broken into a small uncomplete part for the subject for example. What else?
