There's something strange with how `git diff' parses its flags:

  git diff --some-bogus-flag
  --> complains as expected

  git diff --follow
  --> works but there's no mention of this in the man page, and it
      doesn't look like it's doing anything

  git diff -C -M
  --> works as expected too

  git diff -CM
  --> doesn't say anything (but it does exit with an error code)

  git diff -CM --I-can-write-anything here!
  --> does the same
