"git show --ext-diff"?

We end the Description section of the manual with "This manual page
describes only the most frequently used options." without explicitly
saying "Options from the underlying this and that commands can be given as
well", which is rather suboptimal.

The only existing hint there is one sentence before, "The command takes
options applicable to the git diff-tree command...", but the reader needs
to be both careful and vaguely familiar with the way the git command set
is structured to take advantage of that hint.
