    The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if
    rename or copy detection is active.  For example, with raw format one
    might see:
    
      ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM	describe.c
      ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM	bar.sh
      ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR	phooey.c
    
    This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the
    first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names
    of phooey.c were in either of the parents.  In contrast, for non-merge
    commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score
    to boot).  In order to also provide original filenames for merge
    commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with
    either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy
    detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when
    renames are involved.  This transforms the above output to:
    
      ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM	desc.c	desc.c	desc.c
      ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM	foo.sh	bar.sh	bar.sh
      ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR	fooey.c	fuey.c	phooey.c
    
    Further, in patch format, this changes the from/to headers so that
    instead of just having one "from" header, we get one for each parent.
    For example, instead of having
    
      --- a/phooey.c
      +++ b/phooey.c
    
    we would see
    
      --- a/fooey.c
      --- a/fuey.c
      +++ b/phooey.c
