So, do I get it right that there is actually no reason to use "log --first-parent -m" anymore, since the time the much older commit made --first-parent imply -m? If so, I'd object against this particular patch as the pros of patch being reverted outweighs its cons, and the original patch never meant to be entirely backward compatible in the first place, when it was accepted.
