Git 2.33 Release Notes
======================
-Backward compatibility notes
-----------------------------
-
- * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
- if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
- implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.
-
- You can disable the diff output with "git log -m --no-patch", but
- then there probably isn't much point in passing "-m" in the first
- place ;-).
