Hello everyone,

I was playing around with "git show" lately and realized it has changed its behavior regarding the --quiet option, which no longer suppresses the diff output as it used to. The behavior change happened in 1c40c36b ("log: convert to parse-options"). Was this intentional?

The commit message talks about the --quiet handling being improved and the "git show" help doesn't mention a --quiet option. Is the simple answer that the previous behavior was incorrect?
