I asked the same question to myself before writing my first response but it is way too late to ask it now. I do support the spirit of "--minimal", but not "--diff-algorithm=minimal" which may be an ill-thought-out shorthand for "--diff-algorithm=default --minimal". If you dig the list archive, I would imagine that you would find that not an insignificant part of list participant back then thought it was a good idea ;-)
