This flag changes the way a merge commit patch is displayed,
in a similar way to the '-c' option. It implies the '-c'
and '-p' options and further compresses the patch output
by omitting hunks that show differences from only one
parent, or show the same change from all but one parent
for an Octopus merge. When this optimization makes all
hunks disappear, the commit itself and the commit log
message is not shown, just like in any other "empty diff" case.
by omitting uninteresting hunks whose the contents in the parents
have only two variants and the merge result picks one of them
without modification. When all hunks are uninteresting, the commit
itself and the commit log message is not shown, just like in any other
"empty diff" case.
