I adjusted the output of --list=format-all-details to the changes made
by your commit f61def05, see attached patch.
BTW: should that option be renamed to --list=all-format-details, even if
just for easier bash completion?
(all-format-details would be the only one starting with a, and this
would leave us with just 2 names starting with f, not 3)
