Hi Matthieu,

Please go ahead. :)

The difficult piece is that the diff and revision handling options are
shared by a large number of commands.

I think my favorite idea is to provide macros to include the
appropriate entries in option tables[1].  Plus side: very easy for
callers to use.  Downside: bloats the option tables, though I think
that can be worked around.

Junio seemed to suggest that adapting the current multi-pass procedure
might be easier[2].

That said, in the meantime, something like this series (just for -S
it would be a big improvement already) would make sense to me.

Thanks.
Jonathan
