When using symmetric differences, I think the user almost always would want to know which side of the symmetry each commit came from. So this removes --left-right option from the command line, and turns it on automatically when a symmetric difference is used ("git log --merge" counts as a symmetric difference between HEAD and MERGE_HEAD). Just in case, a new option --no-left-right is provided to defeat this, but I do not know if it would be useful.
