I believe it was to un-break commitfilter emails. FWIW the problem I had with the old git format was that the subject was not long enough. I guess pretty=oneline only takes the first 72 chars or whatever of the first commit line, but in practice people don't stick to that as a limit, so pragmatically it should be extended if there's a way to revert to that email subject. All the best, Steve.
