General way for getting all parents of specified commit

Is there a general* way to get all commit's parents in a pure** git way?

Yep, parents of merge commit could be parsed from git show command, and parent of simple commit could be get with $HASH^-like stuff. But in my opinion it is ugly and clumsy.

So, what I want is:

$> git parents $NON_MERGE_COMMIT_HASH
HASH1

$> git parents $MERGE_COMMIT_HASH
HASH1
HASH2
...

general* - single command for non-merge commits and merge commits.

pure** - simple git command without any parsing of output. I.e. for getting current branch name git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD is a pure command and git branch is not.

git rev-parse "${HASH}"^@

The ^@ suffix means "all of the revision's parents" (in order). See git help revisions.

The following seems to do the job : git log -1 --pretty=tformat:%P <hash>
