Re: [PATCH 3/3] pretty: support multiline subjects with format:

Hello,

I hope I got the In-Reply-To right, the message was sent before my
subscription to this list.

René Scharfe, 27.12.2008:

git log --pretty=format:%s (and tformat:) used to display the first
line of the subject, unlike the other --pretty options, which would
construct a subject line from all lines of the first paragraph of
the commit message.

And that can be very annoying when working on repositories with a
history not formatted after the recommendations of git (empty line after
the summary). Then the output of commands like
"git log --pretty=oneline", "git format-patch" and "git show-branch"
is unreadable.

Sorry, I haven't tested your patch set, what is the output of
git-shortlog like now?

For consistency and increased code reuse, change format: to do the
same as the other options.

What's wrong with using the first line instead of the first paragraph
for the other pretty options and for cases where only a small subject
line is desired? A sentence would be broken into a small uncomplete part
for the subject for example. What else?
