At this point, unfortunately I think we need to call that a documentation bug. The "output" it refers to is output from the "diff" portion, not the "poor-man's log" portion, of the program, where diff-tree was the workhorse behind scripted "git log" that gave the commit object name as the preamble for each commit it shows information about.
