I don't actually like the git internal commit format, it's not very readable. It's designed to be nicely readable by machines, not humans.

If you want machine-readable output, you shouldn't use "-v" (or probably -p either) anyway, you'd be better off with the raw file changes.

Again, it's indented so that it's human-readable, and I was planning on adding _some_ human-readable output from the headers (author and a human-readable date or something).
