Just to save others time to go spelunking in the list archive,
"solutions" attempted and did not work in the past include

 (1) wasting a line to insert a "gap" in the output.
 (2) using marker different from '*' to mark each commit.

If taking the latter approach, it needs to designed to work well
with "boundary" and "left-right" options (the design to shift column
would not have to worry about these, which is another plus).

Thanks.
