The overall direction is probably OK, but I wouldn't call it minimal.

As a user, I do not think I can guess, from the option name, what
that option is trying to do.

As a minimum patch, I think it is OK to have just 'all' and 'none'
(not even c or cc, let alone the one with ultra-long name whose
effect is mystery) before we let the result graduate to 'master'.
Others can be added on top, as the primary focus of Peff's series is
to make sure "-m" can be countermanded, for which being able to say
"no" is sufficient, and the primary reason why we are further
futzing with the series with this addition is to leave the door open
for later additions of different "modes" in which how
"--diff-merges" option can operate (iow, Peff's was merely on/off,
but you are making sure others such as <num> can be added over
time).

Thanks.
