^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ spelling mistake (option)

I think it makes more sense to make Porcelain including "git
log" to always recurse in its diff operations (when diff output
is asked for), in which case the example should simply lose
the "-r" option.

But that is a post-1.5.3 change.  That's why I am planning to
drop this patch for now.
