I just see the primary thing of what "commit -e" does is to help
users edit their log message (and view "-v" as giving more helping),
but I do agree with you that this is very subjective.
If we had these as either in broken-down form ("--show-diff",
"--show-diffstat", and "--show-untracked") or just a single
"--show-extra-info" option when we did the feature in the very
beginning, I do not think I'd feel that "--show-*" option(s) should
be renamed/redone to "--verbose". So personally, my subjective
judgment is "'--verbose' and '--show-diff' would have been equally
valid, and it is OK to let whichever came first squat on the
feature."
