That means extra pointless setup and is besides the point anyway, I was
asking about empty commits, not default command settings.

I agree with you.  Personally, I think:

 - show is where the user is asking for _that_ particular
   commit, so it can safely default to --root, always.  No
   option is needed.

We don't show patch for merges by default in git-show, so I don't
see why we would want to show root commit diff in git-show by default:
those two are very similar.
