6 'full', 'fuller', 'email', 'raw' and 'format:<string>'.
7 When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'.

10 configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
13 Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
14 name, show only a partial prefix. Non default number of
15 digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
16 diff output, if it is displayed).

22 This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
25 --encoding[=<encoding>]::
26 The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
27 in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
28 command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
29 preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
