+--commit-list-format=<format-spec>::
+ Specify the format in which to generate the commit list of the patch
+ series. The accepted values for format-spec are `shortlog`, `modern` or
+ a format-string prefixed with `log:`. E.g. `log: %s (%an)`.
+ `modern` is the same as `log:%w(72)[%(count)/%(total)] %s`.
+ The `log:` prefix can be omitted if the format-string has a `%` in it
+ (expecting that it is part of `%<placeholder>`).
+ Defaults to the `format.commitListFormat` configuration variable, if
+ set, or `shortlog`.
+ This option given from the command-line implies the use of
+ `--cover-letter` unless `--no-cover-letter` is given.
