Yes, we really do have two "line_termination" characters: the one between commits, and the one we use within raw diffs. However, I don't think the *combination* ever makes sense any more (*), so using the same flag doesn't seem to really be a problem. And the -z "line_termination" already got hijacked a long time ago for inter-commit messages too, so while adding a "-Z" would perhaps avoid a certain ambiguity, it would actually potentially break stuff that just did git-rev-list -z --pretty .. | ... which is actually _more_ likely than the "multiple commit messages _and_ raw outpu _and_ '-z'" combination. So I would suggest leaving it as-is, especially since I don't think anybody has actually even noticed (ie nobody probably used that combination), and the new semantics in many ways are both more useful and more logical.
