Re: [PATCH/RFC resend] diff-options: make --patch a synonym for -p

Re-sending, as this seems to have slipped under the radar last time.
In case a justification is non-obvious: -p has always meant "patch", and the
synonym (-u) has a long-form. I always find myself typing out the long-form
--patch, only to be surprised that it doesn't exist. This patch seeks to
correct what I can only assume was an oversight.

Agreed. I'll still type -p, but explaining to newbies "git log --patch"
is self-explanatory, while "git log -p" is non-obvious, especially
when it's different from "git -p log"...
