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.
