Btw, if you really _only_ want the diff, you can do either

	git-diff-tree -p 3435fdb4c

which is the traditional "core" command for this. Somewhat sadly, I don't think we have a way to actually turn _off_ the description printing, so while you can turn off the _diff_ with "-s", the best you can do wrt the commit message is probably to use "--pretty=oneline" to cut it down to a single line.

I wonder if we should have a "--pretty=none" thing, so that you can use the "higher-level" git commands without seeing the log message.

Hmm..
