Yep, but --diff-merges=m doesn't imply -p either, though it does produce
diff output without -p, for merge commits only.
As the final purpose of all this is to have -m as user-friendly short
option, I'd incline to finally let it imply -p, as --diff-merges=m now
covers another side of the coin.
What do you think?
