Hi All,


is there a good reason why

	git fetch -vpnf

works like

	git fetch -v -p -n -f

and
	
	git commit -avem msg

works like

	git commit -a -v -e -m msg

etc etc, but

	git log -wWp

says

	fatal: unrecognized argument: -wWp

?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Anatoly Borodin

Yes. The reason is that the arguments to git-log are passed to the
revision.c parser, which predates our parse_options() infrastructure,
and does not understand bundled options.

It could be updated to use parse_options(), but nobody has done so yet.
