What does "log -p" do currently, and what should it do? Does/should it also use --textconv?

The --textconv is a natural extension of what --ext-diff provides us, so I think it should trigger the same way as how --ext-diff triggers.

We apply "--ext-diff" for "diff" by default but not for "log -p" and "show"; I suspect this may have been for a good reason but I do not recall the discussion that led to the current behaviour offhand.
