[PATCH 2/3 v2] Teach git diff-tree --stdin to diff trees
When feeding trees on the command line, you can give exactly two trees, not three nor one; --stdin now supports this "two tree" form on its input, in addition to accepting lines with one or more commits.
When diffing trees (either specified on the command line or from the standard input), the -m, -s, -v, --pretty, --abbrev-commit, --encoding, --no-commit-id, -c, --cc, and --always options are ignored, since they do not apply to trees.

With updated commit message. (And I checked -- your earlier doc patch _is_ obsoleted by this patch, so I saw no need to change anything else.)
