I didn't know that you could simply omit the "format:". Is it
documented anywhere? The docs say:

       --pretty[=3D<format>], --format[=3D<format>]
           Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given
format, where <format> can be one of oneline, short,
           medium, full, fuller, email, raw and format:<string>. When
omitted, the format defaults to medium.
