Re: [PATCH v2 09/10] pretty: implement 'summary' format

Yeah, it's as simple as adding:

  { "reference",  CMIT_FMT_USERFORMAT,    1,      0, 0, "%C(auto)%h (%s, %as)" }

Works like a charm, I've been using it for a few years now:

The word "reference" does sound more to the point for the feature
than "summary", and it is nice to see that the required change is
essentially a single liner ;-)

but never seriously considered for submission, because I didn't want
to argue about removing the double-quotes around the subject, and

I personally do not care whether the title is naked or inside a
dq-pair, as that part is purely for human consumption.  Being for
human consumption, I guess we can argue that the shorter the better,
so we may want to standardise the recommendation we give in our
tutorials and such.

couldn't be bothered to check the corner cases (e.g. what if a user
sets a pretty format alias with the same name in the configuration?).

It would be already possible to collide with built-in names, like
"short", with or without your addition, wouldn't it?  Then that is
not an issue you would need to be worried about, right?

Thanks.
