[BUG] log -m --graph does not work

"git log" can pass "-m" to the internal diff-tree helper, with
the handy result of multiple diffs for a merge, one against
each parent.  Unfortunately the graph pretty-printer doesn't
know what to do with the second diff:

 $ git log -m --graph --oneline --shortstat origin/pu
 *   2ee46ba (from a13ef41) Merge branch 'jh/notes-merge' into pu

[...]

Error out to avoid getting the user's hopes up (unless -c, --cc,
or --first-parent was supplied, since they work fine).

This patch breaks "git log --ancestry-path --graph -m -p" even in the
cases when it sort of works.  It's probably better to go straight to a
fix without this band-aid.

Hints?
