Re: [PATCH] Documentation: More on --pretty with git-diff-tree

By the way, can one choose one of parents to be shown in ''for the
commit'' mode, or it is only combined (-c, --cc) or all (-m)?

Not without using "diff $C^$N $C", no, I do not think so, and that form
will be two-tree case so you won't get a log.

When you treat all parents as equals, there is no good definition of a
single patch for the commit for a merge.
