I want the default for format-patch changed. For this I think it is easiest to add a new rev_info flag, as otherwise format-patch would need to duplicate parsing the rev_list options and either duplicate applying revs->prune_data or changing the argv for setup_revisions with some special casing of bare repository and non-bare repository cases. And if there is that rev_info flag I think it is most logical to make it accessible from the outside. That also allows to revert to the old format-patch behaviour, in case someone uses format-patch not to get some appliable patches but some differently formated log or for something else I cannot imagine. And when there is that option, I think it is more robust to use that in merge -m and merge -i, as "-- ." only does the right thing by chance because both only work with a non-bare repository and have cd_to_toplevel.
