The "-t" option is infrequently used; it doesn't deserve a spot near the
top of the options list. Let's push it down into the diff-options
include, near the definition of --raw.

True.  It does not have any effect unless --raw is in use (i.e.  it
does have an effect to "git show --patch-with-raw" or anything that
(also) shows "--raw" output), and it makes sense to have "-t" near
"--raw".

It affects --name-status, etc, too. But yeah, I would think the primary
use is with --raw.
