+-p::
+       For commits, show the change the commit introduces in a patch form.

This is already documented by referencing git-diff-tree a few lines
above:

	The command takes options applicable to the git-diff-tree[1]
	command to control how the changes the commit introduces are
	shown.

The man page of git-diff-tree talks about -p, and a lot more
options.

I am not really convinced this is a good idea: at the current point of
time, man-pages are not pulled into they user manual or any other
complete reference tome.  So they are basically standalone.  Even if
they weren't, I think it does not make all too much sense for a
porcelain command to point to the documentation of a plumbing command
for much of its functionality.
