Perhaps it would be even more readable to simply split the printing of
the commit message and the diff. Tracking this bug was a bit confusing.
Ideally, print_summary would just say:

  print_commit_message(commit);
  print_diff(commit, "^commit");

where obviously each of those takes a few lines to say properly. But the
use of a combination "show the log and maybe the diff" function seems
like a shell holdover, trying to avoid spawning too many processes.
