Beautiful, although I doubt we would want to spell out the exact
output format in that documentation (if so you would need to
talk about Merge: entries that we conditionally give and how
commit object names are abbreviated and such). On the other
hand, we might want to talk about Merge: entries anyway to say
the values can be affected by merge simplification.
Independent of the above concerns, I trust somebody else will
follow this up with a patch to describe missing pretty formats?
