You're right.  I figured I must be overlooking something obvious, and
that was it.  What surprised me was that -p implies -r, which is not

Just to make sure, the Porcelain "diff" does recurse even with --raw 
and "diff-tree" doesn't for historical reasons, right?

Yes, that's right (and yes, I just checked it to be double sure).
