I see value in avoiding confusion.  Maybe one solution would be to make
format-patch use --no-merges by default.

Good idea. I'll write a patch. Do we also want people to be able to
turn off `--no-merges`?

I don't see a need for it.

However, if you can think of good names for --undo-no-merges and
--undo-merges options to "git log", that might be a nice independent
change for the revision option parser.
