Same problem.
  $ git log --summary --pretty=tformat:'%h %s'
  3c0eee3 Linux 2.6.37
  65f4288 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6
  9fc3bbb ipv4/route.c: respect prefsrc for local routes

  d9a1abe arch/mn10300/kernel/irq.c: fix build
  867c202 ima: fix add LSM rule bug

Also, tformat doesn’t seem to work at all with -z (it gives identical results with and without -z).
