The config variables format.* are traditionally about format-patch. I see we have format.pretty these days, too.
Yes, it as added in commit v1.5.5-rc0~57^2 (log/show/whatchanged:
introduce format.pretty configuration, 2008-03-02):
When running log/show/whatchanged from the command line, the user may want
to use a preferred format without having to pass --pretty=<fmt> option
every time from the command line. This teaches these three commands to
honor a new configuration variable, format.pretty.
The --pretty option given from the command line will override the
configured format.
I use it to mess with line wrapping; that it’s possible is very nice.
Thanks, Renquan.
