 	This flag changes the way a merge commit patch is displayed,
 	in a similar way to the '-c' option. It implies the '-c'
 	and '-p' options and further compresses the patch output
-	by omitting hunks that show differences from only one
-	parent, or show the same change from all but one parent
-	for an Octopus merge.  When this optimization makes all
-	hunks disappear, the commit itself and the commit log
-	message is not shown, just like in any other "empty diff" case.
