I think using "-c" rather than "--cc" is fine, and if it makes parsing 
easier..

The "--cc" option should show less "noise", an dI'm actually arguing that 
it should show even less than it does now (for when the branches agreed 
with each other, and there was no actual conflict, which is what I think 
is more useful), but I don't think "-c" is _wrong_ either.

Using "-c" is a strange kind of "show all differences in a file that had 
file-level merges" while at least to me "--cc" is meant to be more of a 
"show all actual file-level CONFLICTS where the merge actually did 
something different"
