Subject: git show -m with a parent number

Hi All,

is there a good reason for `git show -m` to not accept the number of a
parent of a merge commit? I can run `git show --first-parent COMMIT`,
but need to write `git diff COMMIT^2 COMMIT` every time I want to diff
with the second parent!

`git cherry-pick -m 2 COMMIT` works, so why can't `git log` work like
that?
