Re: [PATCH bg/format-patch-p-noop] log-tree: always add --- marker when options are patch and a stat

Since -p has been broken for 14 months, is really necessary to reinstate
it? (Or has the breakage not been reported because the people who care
still use a git version older than 14 months?)

Oh, 1.6.0 has the old behaviour and we see many people still on 1.5.X
series.  Hopefully nobody uses 1.4.X series anymore but I wouldn't be
overly surprised if somebody raised hand in the next 6 hours after seeing
this message ;-)

Why not just add a new --no-stat option?

I am all for teaching _new_ people to say "format-patch --no-stat", but it
won't help people who have been happy with 1.6.0 when they update, if they
have to change their "format-patch -p" to "format-patch --no-stat".
