The command line you quoted shows the relevant information for people who want to know what happened in that merge. Namely: * it always shows the header and the message * it shows the changes that are not trivial (i.e. merge parents have overlapping different versions and manual resolution resulted in something different from either parents). It is not a replacement for format-patch, but I think the commit mailing list is not for machines to receive and apply the received patches, but for humans to inspect, so it would be more suitable than a naive alternative of showing diff from all parents concatenated together.
