It's note _quite_ what you asked for, but `git show --pretty=reference -s
<commit>` (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-show#_pretty_formats) gives you
_almost_ what you are looking for.
But you can always call `git show -s --format='%h ("%s")' <commit>`, and
even configure an alias for this:
git config --global alias.pretty-print-commit \
"-c core.abbrev=12 show -s --format='%h (\"%s\")'"
Ciao,
