git show <commit> --oneline not showing oneline

Question

I am using version 1.8.3 of mysysgit and it seems that the --oneline command does not give me just one line per commit, I get all of the diff lines as well.

git show HEAD --oneline

and even git show HEAD --pretty="%h %s"

do not give just one line.

(note: same results using both git bash and posh git)

The reason I want the show --oneline is I want to pipe the results of a rev-list query into it from posh git.

git rev-list <somestuff> | %{git show $_ --oneline}

Answer 1

I think this'll do what you want git show --no-patch --oneline

Answer 2

May

git log HEAD --oneline --no-walk

is what you want.

BTW, there is --pretty and --oneline the same as git log in git rev-list, maybe the pipe is unnecessary.
