Yes, as I said in my response to 3/3, I think it is a good goal to
avoid n-dots used as a "here we truncated something longer" sign,
which was a very old convention that was invented without knowing
that we'd later come up with a syntax that would conflict with it.
For this particular output, I wonder if it is even better to follow
our own advice, though. Documentation/SubmittingPatches says:
If you want to reference a previous commit in the history of a stable
branch, use the format "abbreviated sha1 (subject, date)",
with the subject enclosed in a pair of double-quotes, like this:
Commit f86a374 ("pack-bitmap.c: fix a memleak", 2015-03-30)
noticed that ...
