I doubt '%h' is useful and it may result in overlong message lines.
Is '--topo-order' expensive when only show top N commits?
I prefer to use

    git log --pretty='format:%m %s' --left-right --first-parent A...B

for modificated modules, and

   git log -1 --pretty='format:> %s' $sha1_dst
   git log -1 --pretty='format:< %s' $sha1_src

for added ( or blob -> submodule typechange) and deleted
( or submodule -> blob typechange) modules separately.
