Re: [RFC] request-pull with diff body itself

Here is rfc in a sake of having ability to produce

adding "-p" option seems more comfortable.

Dunno, just a thought.

I think this is a useful thing to add, as I think I've seen some
request-pull actually made with the patch text, most likely by hand.

 git shortlog ^$baserev $headrev
 git diff -M --stat --summary $merge_base $headrev
+
+if [ "$usediff" = "yes" ]; then
+	echo "---"
+	git diff -M -p $merge_base $headrev
+fi

You can just use a single "git diff" invocation here,

	git diff -M --stat --summary $usediff $merge_base $headrev

and set up "$usediff" to be either empty or -p in the option parsing part.
