Just a though, but does it really take much sense to have "patch" and
"patches" views handled in git_commitdiff? I can understand in the
first version, where it was more about better 'commitdiff_plain', but
I wonder about now, where patch(es) view is something between git show
and log_plain format... Wouldn't it be simpler to use separate 
subroutine, for example git_format_patch or something?
