Merge branch 'so/log-m-implies-p'
The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format, if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced. * so/log-m-implies-p: diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p" diff-merges: rename "combined_imply_patch" to "merges_imply_patch" stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git log" git-svn: stop passing "-m" to "git rev-list" diff-merges: move specific diff-index "-m" handling to diff-index t4013: test "git diff-index -m" t4013: test "git diff-tree -m" t4013: test "git log -m --stat" t4013: test "git log -m --raw" t4013: test that "-m" alone has no effect in "git log"
