Chris Riddoch 5d1faf8791 Move --pretty options into Documentation/pretty-formats.txt
Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the
--pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs.

This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt
enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format
of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats.

There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what
goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to
the 'raw' format.

===========
NAME
----
git-show - Show one commit with difference it introduces
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-show' <option>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows commit log and textual diff for a single commit. The
command internally invokes 'git-rev-list' piped to
'git-diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
these commands. It also presents the merge commit in a special
format as produced by 'git-diff-tree --cc'.
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
