Nice. "git log -Gpattern" without "-p" has no reason to do the full
diff once it finds out that pattern would have existed if "-p" were
given in the output.
It actually is a bit of shame that "git log -Gpattern -p" still
needs to run two diffs (instead of taking advantage of the diff that
it needs to generate anyway (to show to the user of the "log") and
pattern match in it).

Hmph, an obvious alternative would be to silently return -1 here,
which probably would not hurt, either. I do not mind the check to
be stricter, though.
