* 'raw'
+
The 'raw' format shows the entire commit exactly as
-stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are
+stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA-1s are
displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or
--no-abbrev are used, and 'parents' information show the
true parent commits, without taking grafts nor history
- '%P': parent hashes
- '%p': abbreviated parent hashes
- '%an': author name
-- '%aN': author name (respecting .mailmap, see linkgit:git-shortlog[1] or linkgit:git-blame[1])

- '%B': raw body (unwrapped subject and body)
- '%N': commit notes
- '%GG': raw verification message from GPG for a signed commit
-- '%G?': show either "G" for Good or "B" for Bad for a signed commit
+- '%G?': show "G" for a Good signature, "B" for a Bad signature, "U" for a good,
+ untrusted signature and "N" for no signature
- '%GS': show the name of the signer for a signed commit
+- '%GK': show the key used to sign a signed commit
- '%gD': reflog selector, e.g., `refs/stash@{1}`
- '%gd': shortened reflog selector, e.g., `stash@{1}`

- '%Creset': reset color
-- '%C(...)': color specification, as described in color.branch.* config option
+- '%C(...)': color specification, as described in color.branch.* config option;
+ adding `auto,` at the beginning will emit color only when colors are
+ enabled for log output (by `color.diff`, `color.ui`, or `--color`, and
+ respecting the `auto` settings of the former if we are going to a
+ terminal). `auto` alone (i.e. `%C(auto)`) will turn on auto coloring
+ on the next placeholders until the color is switched again.

- '%w([<w>[,<i1>[,<i2>]]])': switch line wrapping, like the -w option of
linkgit:git-shortlog[1].
+- '%<(<N>[,trunc|ltrunc|mtrunc])': make the next placeholder take at
+ least N columns, padding spaces on the right if necessary.
+ Optionally truncate at the beginning (ltrunc), the middle (mtrunc)
+ or the end (trunc) if the output is longer than N columns.
+ Note that truncating only works correctly with N >= 2.
+- '%<|(<N>)': make the next placeholder take at least until Nth
+ columns, padding spaces on the right if necessary
+- '%>(<N>)', '%>|(<N>)': similar to '%<(<N>)', '%<|(<N>)'
+ respectively, but padding spaces on the left
+- '%>>(<N>)', '%>>|(<N>)': similar to '%>(<N>)', '%>|(<N>)'
+ respectively, except that if the next placeholder takes more spaces
+ than given and there are spaces on its left, use those spaces
+- '%><(<N>)', '%><|(<N>)': similar to '% <(<N>)', '%<|(<N>)'
+ respectively, but padding both sides (i.e. the text is centered)
NOTE: Some placeholders may depend on other options given to the
revision traversal engine. For example, the `%g*` reflog options will
