I'm inching towards the goal of being able to replicate all of the other --pretty flavours with format: (or tformat:) strings. --pretty=oneline used to print only the first line, but was changed to the way it's now in 4234a761 more than a year ago. In my mind, "subject" is defined by "what oneline is printing", so I think changing the format: placeholder %s to show the whole first paragraph is a bug fix. If you actually like the old behaviour then perhaps a new placeholder (%S ?) should be introduced instead?
