+push::
+ The name of a local ref which represents the `@{push}` location

The complete message in a commit and tag object is `contents`.
-Its first line is `contents:subject`, the remaining lines
-are `contents:body` and the optional GPG signature
-is `contents:signature`.
+Its first line is `contents:subject`, where subject is the concatenation
+of all lines of the commit message up to the first blank line. The next
+line is 'contents:body', where body is all of the lines after the first

+first `N` lines of the message is obtained using `contents:lines=N`.
For sorting purposes, fields with numeric values sort in numeric
order (`objectsize`, `authordate`, `committerdate`, `taggerdate`).
All other fields are used to sort in their byte-value order.
+There is also an option to sort by versions, this can be done by using
+the fieldname `version:refname` or its alias `v:refname`.

In any case, a field name that refers to a field inapplicable to
the object referred by the ref does not cause an error. It
returns an empty string instead.
As a special case for the date-type fields, you may specify a format for
-the date by adding one of `:default`, `:relative`, `:short`, `:local`,
