Please read the rest of the thread for some explanation from Junio on
how this option works.

I think it makes sense to group the porcelain-ish options together for
git-log/git-whatchanged (and potentially git-show). Really, they can
take any of the diff-options or any of the rev-list options.  The
rev-list options are not currently grouped for inclusion in another man
page. The diff options are available in diff-options.txt, but are not
included by the log manpages.  They probably should be.
