I misspoke without thinking it through. It is absolutely wrong for
the "-m" option (or "--diff-merges=m" for that matter) to imply
"-p".
$ git log --stat --summary
would show "diff", but the kind of "diff" requested is not a textual
patch but just diffstat and the summary of new/removed files, and
the "diff" is shown only for single-parent commits, and it omits
"diff" for merge commits. Adding "-m" to this command line is *not*
a request to show the textual patch. It is to ask "diff" to be
shown pairwise with each of the parent.
$ git log -m --stat --summary
It is probably OK to special case "-m" given alone without any other
option [*1*] that specifies what kind of "diff" is requested and
make it imply "-p". But unconditionally flipping "-p" on only
because you saw "-m" (or "--diff-merges=m" for that matter) is just
wrong.
[Footnote]
*1* They are not limited to "-p", "--stat" and "--summary", but
you'd need to also pay attention to "--raw", "--name-only", etc.)
