Close but no cigar.  You broke it for a merge commit, I think.

Yes, you are right.

Perhaps

	pretty="format:Created${initial_commit:+ initial} commit %h: %s%n"
	git-diff-tree --always --shortstart --summary --root --pretty="$pretty" HEAD

Aha, --always should do the trick. I'll check this.
BTW, a couple of questions:
1. do we really need the shortstat info?
2. why is there "--" at the end do in the original version?
