Merge branch 'hn/range-diff-matched-only' into jch

The 'git range-diff' command has been augmented with a
'--matched-only' option to skip commits that are only present on
one side, allowing users to easily focus on only the commits that
have been retained.

Suppress commits that are missing from the second specified range
(or the "right range" when using the `<rev1>...<rev2>` form).

`--matched-only`::
Only emit commits that have a corresponding commit in the other
range, suppressing any commit that exists on only one side. Useful
to skip added or removed commits when reviewing how the commits
that survived a rebase changed.

`--diff-merges=<format>`::
Instead of ignoring merge commits, generate diffs for them using the
corresponding `--diff-merges=<format>` option of linkgit:git-log[1],
