Spelling out the between the lines of my answer a bit more, it was
really: I am happy enough with the topic as-is and do not want to rework
it again. But if _you_ want to do so, I have no problem with it. :)

Yes, I think a config there would be reasonable as long as:

  - we have the command-line options to counteract it when necessary
    (i.e., --diff-parents or your advanced --diff-merges exists, too)

  - it only impacts porcelain "git log", and not plumbing like
    diff-tree.
