appear twice in the file, once in _git_diff and again in _git_show.

It is disturbing that we need to keep duplicating these same options over and over again. Granted, the duplication exists before this patch (the case arms for --diff-algorithm=* and --submodule=* are already duplicated), but this patch makes it worse X-<.

And the next person who notices that this patch only added these to "show" would want to further duplicate them to _git_log. Yuck X-<.

Will apply as-is for now, but at some point we may want to clean these up. With a new helper, along the lines of this, perhaps?

Thanks.
