I wished git-gui and gitk would be better integrated for history/blame browsing; I also missed a text search functionality in the blame view of git-gui. Neverless... opt->diff is set to 1 in setup_revisions() whenever diff_opt_parse() parses an option. And "-z" is parsed in diff_opt_parse(). In cd2bdc, Linus write in the commit log - make setup_revision set a flag (revs->diff) if the diff-related arguments were used. This allows "git log" to decide whether it wants to show diffs or not. So why is "-z" regarded as tree-diff related, leading to calculating diffs?
