No, I can't, because cmd_show() uses setup_revisions() (actually, this is called by cmd_log_init()) not only to parse the command line arguments, but also the objects to show. The only way I could imagine this working is to turn _off_ FORMAT_PATCH, do the parsing, then check if RECURSIVE was set, then turn _on_ FORMAT_PATCH and call diff_setup_done(). But that feels just as awful.
