This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
people using 80-column terminals.
+--no-abbrev-commit::
+ Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates
+ `--abbrev-commit` and those options which imply it such as
+ "--oneline". It also overrides the 'log.abbrevCommit' variable.

--oneline::
This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
used together.
---encoding[=<encoding>]::
+--encoding=<encoding>::
The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
defaults to UTF-8.
+
+--notes[=<ref>]::
+ Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
+ commit, when showing the commit log message. This is the default
+ for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
+ there is no `--pretty`, `--format`, or `--oneline` option given
+ on the command line.
++
+By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the
+'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding
+environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
++
+With an optional '<ref>' argument, show this notes ref instead of the
+default notes ref(s). The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it
+is not qualified.
++
+Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are
+being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from
+"refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from
+"refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s).
+
+--no-notes::
+ Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by
+ resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown.
+ Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g.
+ "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes
+ from "refs/notes/bar".
+
+--show-notes[=<ref>]::
+--[no-]standard-notes::
+ These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes
+ options instead.
+
+--show-signature::
+ Check the validity of a signed commit object by passing the signature
+ to `gpg --verify` and show the output.
