Elijah NewrenThe raw diff format for merges with -c or --cc will only list one filename, even if rename detection is active and a rename was detected for the given path. Examples:
::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM describe.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR phooey.c
This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names of phooey.c were in either of the parents. In contrast, for non-merge commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score to boot). In order to also provide original filenames for merge commits, add a --combined-with-paths option (which is only useful in conjunction with -c, --raw, and -M and thus implies all those options) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when renames are involved. This transforms the above output to:
::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM describe.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM foo.sh bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR fooey.c fuey.c phooey.c

The critical part of the patch is the few line change to show_raw_diff(), the rest is plumbing to set that up.
This patch was based out of Peff's suggestion[1] to fix diff-tree to do what I needed rather than bending fast-export to cover my usecase; I've been running with a hacky version of this patch for a while and finally cleaned it up.
[1] https://public-inbox.org/git/20181114071454.GB19904@sigill.intra.peff.net/
As an alternative, I considered perhaps trying to sell it as a bugfix (how often do people use -M, -c, and --raw together and have renames in merge commits -- can I just change the format to include the old names), but was worried that since diff-tree is plumbing and that the format was documented to not include original filename(s), that I'd be breaking backward compatibility in an important way for someone and thus opted for a new flag to get the behavior I needed.
I did struggle a bit to come up with a name for the option; if others have better suggestions, I'm happy to switch.
