There's a funny breakage from the recent "--cc" changes.
If you do 
	git-diff-tree --cc version version2

and "version2" is a merge, it will do something really strange. I haven't figured out quite _what_ it does, but it's definitely the wrong thing.

Just a heads up. I'll try to track down what the breakage is.
