Why such strange formatting?  Is it to keep original contents
for better blame / word diff?

+A commit's reachable set is the commit itself and the commits in

It is all right, but perhaps it would be better to just repeat:

  +Set of commits reachable from given commit is the commit itself
  +and all the commits in its ancestry chain.
