It should silence only the --patch output, not all output.

When --no-patch was introduced in d09cd15d19 (diff: allow --no-patch as synonym for -s, 2013-07-16), the idea was to have a more accessible shortcut to silence the output of `git show`.

However, the interaction with other options was not considered, for example `--raw --no-patch`.

The original intention remains, as `git show --no-patch` still produces the same: no output.
