Only if vast majority of users incorrectly used the command and the option, we may need to consider such a move as an exception, but not as a general rule. But "stash list" example shows that "log --first-parent -m" without "-p" in a script has a valid reason, and a change that hurts those who correctly used a command and an option in a way they were intended to do _is_ problematic. Thanks.
