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?
