Sorry, but you lost me.  I do not understand this remark.

The documentation for "-L" does not talk about tweaking how the
message is shown at all, because "-L" does not have a say in how the
log message gets shown at all.  And the documentation for
"--oneline", "--format", "--pretty" all should talk about how the
log message gets shown.

Anyway, if you are happy with "--no-patch", that's good.
