Doing diffs for merges are special; they should typically avoid history
simplification. For example, with
git log --diff-merges=first-parent -- path
the default history simplification would remove merge commits from
consideration if the file "path" matched the second parent. That is
counter to what the user wants when looking for first-parent diffs.
Similar comments can be made for --diff-merges=separate (which diffs
against both parents) and --diff-merges=remerge (which diffs against a
remerge of the merge commit).
However, history simplification still makes sense if not doing diffing
merges, and it also makes sense for the combined and dense-combined
forms of diffing merges (because both of those are defined to only show
a diff when the merge result at the relevant paths differs from *both*
parents).
So, for separate, first-parent, and remerge styles of diff-merges, turn
off history simplification.

When this option is specified, we remerge all (two parent) merge commits
and diff the actual merge commit to the automatically created version,
in order to show how users removed conflict markers, resolved the
different conflict versions, and potentially added new changes outside
of conflict regions in order to resolve semantic merge problems (or,
possibly, just to hide other random changes).
This capability works by creating a temporary object directory and
marking it as the primary object store. This makes it so that any blobs
or trees created during the automatic merge are easily removable
afterwards by just deleting all objects from the temporary object
directory.
There are a few ways that this implementation is suboptimal:
* `log --remerge-diff` becomes slow, because the temporary object
directory can fill with many loose objects while running
* the log output can be muddied with misplaced "warning: cannot merge
binary files" messages, since ll-merge.c unconditionally writes those
messages to stderr while running instead of allowing callers to
manage them.
* important conflict and warning messages are simply dropped; thus for
conflicts like modify/delete or rename/rename or file/directory which
are not representable with content conflict markers, there may be no
way for a user of --remerge-diff to know that there had been a
conflict which was resolved (and which possibly motivated other
changes in the merge commit).
* when fixing the previous issue, note that some unimportant conflict
and warning messages might start being included. We should instead
make sure these remain dropped.
Subsequent commits will address these issues.

This fixes 19b2517f (diff-merges: move specific diff-index "-m"
handling to diff-index, 2021-05-21).
That commit disabled handling of all diff for merges options in
diff-index on an assumption that they are unused. However, it later
appeared that -c and --cc, even though undocumented and not being
covered by tests, happen to have had particular effect on diff-index
output.

This reverts commit f5bfcc823b, which
made "git log -m" imply "--patch" by default. The logic was that
"-m", which makes diff generation for merges perform a diff against
each parent, has no use unless I am viewing the diff, so we could save
the user some typing by turning on display of the resulting diff
automatically. That wasn't expected to adversely affect scripts
because scripts would either be using a command like "git diff-tree"
that already emits diffs by default or would be combining -m with a
diff generation option such as --name-status. By saving typing for
interactive use without adversely affecting scripts in the wild, it
would be a pure improvement.
The problem is that although diff generation options are only relevant
for the displayed diff, a script author can imagine them affecting
path limiting. For example, I might run
git log -w --format=%H -- README
hoping to list commits that edited README, excluding whitespace-only
changes. In fact, a whitespace-only change is not TREESAME so the use
of -w here has no effect (since we don't apply these diff generation
flags to the diff_options struct rev_info::pruning used for this
purpose), but the documentation suggests that it should work
Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call
commits that modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In
a diff filtered for foo, they look different and equal,
respectively.)
and a script author who has not tested whitespace-only changes
wouldn't notice.
Similarly, a script author could include
git log -m --first-parent --format=%H -- README
to filter the first-parent history for commits that modified README.
The -m is a no-op but it reflects the script author's intent. For
example, until 1e20a407fe (stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git
log", 2021-05-21), "git stash list" did this.
As a result, we can't safely change "-m" to imply "-p" without fear of
breaking such scripts. Restore the previous behavior.
Noticed because Rust's src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py made use of this
same construct: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87513. That
script has been updated to omit the unnecessary "-m" option, but we
can expect other scripts in the wild to have similar expectations.

Fix long standing inconsistency between -c/--cc that do imply -p on
one side, and -m that did not imply -p on the other side.
Change corresponding test accordingly, as "log -m" output should now
match one from "log -m -p", rather than from just "log".
Change documentation accordingly.
NOTES:
After this patch
git log -m
produces diffs without need to provide -p as well, that improves both
consistency and usability. It gets even more useful if one sets
"log.diffMerges" configuration variable to "first-parent" to force -m
produce usual diff with respect to first parent only.
This patch, however, does not change behavior when specific diff
format is explicitly provided on the command-line, so that commands
like
git log -m --raw
git log -m --stat
are not affected, nor does it change commands where specific diff
format is active by default, such as:
git diff-tree -m
It's also worth to be noticed that exact historical semantics of -m is
still provided by --diff-merges=separate.

Move specific handling of "-m" for diff-index to diff-index.c, so
diff-merges is left to handle only diff for merges options.
Being a better design by itself, this is especially essential in
preparation for letting -m imply -p, as "diff-index -m" obviously
should not imply -p, as it's entirely unrelated.
To handle this, in addition to moving specific diff-index "-m" code
out of diff-merges, we introduce new
diff_merges_suppress_options_parsing()
and call it before generic options processing in cmd_diff_index().
This new diff_merges_suppress_options_parsing() could then be reused
and called before invocations of setup_revisions() for other commands
that don't need --diff-merges options, but that's outside of the scope
of these patch series.
