diff-merges: avoid history simplifications when diffing merges
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. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
