Thanks for a patch.

We prefer to cite an existing commit with its title and date these days, not just with its object name. Since 7cb6ac1e ("diff: diff_aligned_abbrev: remove ellipsis after abbreviated SHA-1 value", 2017-12-03), the "--raw" format of diff does not add ellipsis in an attempt to align the output, but... or something like that. Note that saying this is about the raw format is quite essential thing to tell the readers to explain this hange. > The GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS environment variable can be used, for now, > to bring back the old output format, but that is already documented in > git.txt, so I am not mentioning it here. Yeah, I do not think it makes sense to use the workaround that is planned for removal, which will later make us revise the example in the documentation again, to end up with the text that you have right now. I do not think this three-line paragraph needs to be in the log message, either, though. Perhaps below the three-dash line. Also please sign-off your patch here (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches). > --- Thanks. > Documentation/diff-format.txt | 16 ++++++++-------- > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/diff-format.txt b/Documentation/diff-format.txt > index 706916c94c..cdcc17f0ad 100644 > --- a/Documentation/diff-format.txt > +++ b/Documentation/diff-format.txt > @@ -26,12 +26,12 @@ line per changed file. > An output line is formatted this way: > > ------------------------------------------------ > -in-place edit :100644 100644 bcd1234... 0123456...
