Sounds very straight-forward.

Given that "--first-parent" in "git log --first-parent -p" already defeats "-m" and shows the diff against the first parent only, people may find it confusing if "git log -d" does not act as a shorthand for that. From the above and also from the documentation update, it is hard to tell if that is what you implemented, or it only affects the "diff-merges" part.

Other than that, the patch looks quite small and to the point.
Thanks.
