   1--pretty[='<format>']::
   2
   3        Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
   4        where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium',
   5        'full', 'fuller', 'email', 'raw' and 'format:<string>'.
   6        When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'.
   7
   8--abbrev-commit::
   9        Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
  10        name, show only handful hexdigits prefix.  Non default number of
  11        digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
  12        diff output, if it is displayed).

  14This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
  15people using 80-column terminals.

  17--encoding[=<encoding>]::
  18        The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
  19        in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
  20        command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
  21        preferred by the user.  For non plumbing commands this
  22        defaults to UTF-8.
