Very impressed, and pleased with the result.  I've only taken a
cursory look, but with a very limited number of tests, it looks
much better.  Thanks.

For the sake of full disclosure, the reason I wanted consistency
was not for the diff output I quoted earlier, but to help making
the combined patch output cleaner.  It does reduce false match
from the infamous 12-way Octopus by Len Brown:

	git diff-tree --cc 9fdb62af92c741addbea15545f214a6e89460865
