Please, no! --cc has unfortunate feature of outputting exactly nothing
for a lot of merge commits, causing even more confusion than historical
"-m -p" format.

The best default for -m output is --diff-merges=first-parent. Everybody
is familiar with it, and it's useful.

I rather have strong preference for --diff-merges=first-parent. --cc is
only suitable for Git experts, and they know how to get what they want
anyway. Yep, by using --cc. Why spare yet another short option for that?

Overall, let's rather make -m give diff to the first parent by default.
Simple. Useful. Not confusing.

Thanks,
