Hello,

$ git --version
git version 1.5.0.rc1.gf4b6c

Running git-show with a --pretty format is no different from without 
a --pretty.

Doesn't seem to matter what format you pick, you always get medium/full.

Correction: I think I'm going blind.

You always get the diff, which could well be intended.  Is that the case?  If 
it is, is there a way to surpress the diff?

The answer is "yes"; found in man git-diff-tree (which I'm sure you knew, but 
I'm just terminating the thread in an answer, for the next soul that comes 
looking).

 git-show -s HEAD

Suppresses the diff output.
