Re: [PATCH 3/3] t/t4013: add test for --diff-merges=off

Sergey Organov [off-list ref] writes:

So, do these both effectively resolve to:

      git log -m --no-diff-merges --first-parent --patch 

where first -m is the one implied by --first-parent, ...

Eh, why does --first-parent even affect the choice of -m/no-m when
--no-diff-merges is explicitly given?

This is too complicated for my taste.

No one is forcing you to rely on the implication by --first-parent.
You can always give an explicit --[no-]diff-merges when you use the
"--first-parent" option.

Thanks.
