Yeah, after reading more of the thread, I think the simplest way to
think about is "keep merges that pulled in something" with the
implication of "(even if the other side didn't touch anything)".
And "something you pulled" is a sensible way to think of that. So
--show-pulls makes sense to me. Or if we really want to tie it in to
simplification, --no-simplify-pulls. But that's more awkward to type,
and none of the existing simplification options use the word simplify. ;)
