Making it counteract "--cc" makes sense, but revs->diff is used for much
more than that. So "--cc" sets revs->diff to 1, but so do many other
unrelated options (e.g., "--full-diff" for one).

I think to do it right you'd need to have this part of the code just set
a single enum variable, like:

  ...
  else if (!strcmp(arg, "--cc")) {
          revs->diff_merges = DIFF_MERGES_DENSE_COMBINED;
  } else if (!strcmp(arg, "-m")) {
          revs->diff_merges = DIFF_MERGES_ALL_PARENTS;
  }
  ...etc...

and then later resolve that into the set of flags we need:

  switch (revs->diff_merges) {
  case DIFF_MERGES_DENSE_COMBINED:
	revs->diff = 1;
	revs->dense_combined_merges = 1;
	revs->combine_merges = 1;
	revs->ignore_merges = 0;
	break;
  case DIFF_MERGES_ALL_PARENTS:
	revs->ignore_merges = 0;
	break;
  ...etc...
  }

it may even be that we can get rid of the separate combine_merges and
dense_combined_merges flag and just have callers look at
rev.diff_merges, which would simplify the code even further. But that
cleanup could also come later on top.

Having looked at the code, I'm pretty sure it behaves like "-c". IMHO
that is a bug and the two should be mutually exclusive (i.e., override
each other). Changing that would not be strictly backwards, but I think
it may be OK under the notion that the current behavior is nonsense.
