Display comments in the image history

       The docker commit command has a -m flag for adding comments to the image. These comments
       will be displayed in the image history.

              $ sudo docker history docker:scm
              IMAGE               CREATED             CREATED BY                                      SIZE                COMMENT

   Format the output
       The formatting option (--format) will pretty-prints history output using a Go template.

       Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

       ┌──────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐
       │Placeholder   │ Description                      │
       ├──────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │.ID           │ Image ID                         │
       ├──────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │.CreatedSince │ Elapsed time since the image was │
       │              │ created if --human=true,         │
       │              │ otherwise timestamp of when      │
       │              │ image was created                │
       ├──────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │.CreatedAt    │ Timestamp of when image was      │
       │              │ created                          │
       ├──────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │.CreatedBy    │ Command that was used to create  │
       │              │ the image                        │
       ├──────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │.Size         │ Image disk size                  │
       ├──────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │.Comment      │ Comment for image                │
       └──────────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘

       When using the --format option, the history command will either output the data exactly as
       the template declares or, when using the table directive, will include column headers as
       well.

       The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the ID and CreatedSince
       entries separated by a colon for all images:

              $ docker images --format "{{.ID}}: {{.CreatedSince}} ago"

              <missing>: 2 weeks ago
              <missing>: 2 weeks ago
              <missing>: 3 weeks ago
              <missing>: 3 weeks ago
