Right. That first line (that starts with "commit") lists the commit ID, 
and if you say "--parents", the commit ID's of the parents will be 
appended.

So if you want to turn that into "Commit: <id>" and "Parent: <id>", you'll 
want to do something like this:

  git show --no-abbrev -C --patch-with-stat --pretty=fuller --parents $commit |
	sed '1 s/commit \([0-9a-f]*\)/Commit:     \1\nParent:    /'

which should look pretty (count the spaces to make sure it lines up 
right with the other fields).

(And if you ever want to report on merges, you'll want to change that a 
bit, but it should be reasonably close to the above)
