Are you sure "git show" takes --stdin?

Also for "show", listing --cc as one of the options does not make much
sense, as that is an unoverridable default.

And no, making it overridable so that it can take -m to show independent
diff against each parent of a merge commit do not make much sense in the
context of "git show".
