Thinking about this more, I'm more convinced that this is just a
symptom of a bigger problem -- why does the help for `git log` start
off with the _diff_ options, which do nothing unless you also use the
-p option?  It adds ~230 lines of options that are irrelevant to the
most common usage model.  It seems to me like the more correct fix
would be to move the diff options to later in the file (after the
options that are `git log`-specific), or to remove them entirely, and
replace them with a pointer to git diff's options.
