Thanks for the explanation. Plain 'git log' does not print any diffs. Does that mean that the --raw flag is a no-op in that case? Perhaps running 'git log --raw' should print a warning

    --raw given for raw-format diffs, but the output format you have chosen
    does not include diffs.  Did you mean 'git log --format=raw'?

You might even rename the option to --raw-diff-format, with the older one still accepted for backwards compatibility.
