The intention has always been to default to --cc since 0fe7c1d (built-in
diff: assorted updates., 2006-04-29) for "diff" if I am not misremembering
things, but you are right---"log" is a tad different.

The code does not want to use --cc by default for "log", and I don't think
that should change.  See 1aec791 (git log: don't do merge diffs by
default, 2006-04-19).
