I was hoping it would all be implied and I could dodge those questions.
But it seems not. :)
After thinking on it more, I flipped it to:
-m::
--diff-merges::
[existing text...]
and then I don't think we need to have another block for
--no-diff-merges.
I'll likewise add a statement that "-m" is implied by "--first-parent"
and can be counteracted with the "--no" form, which I think should spell
out all the implications of the series.
