--patch-cmd should be removed. Unless/until we see a clear and
convincing reason, we'll stick to the internal patch application
process.

--editor-cmd should be removed. I have no idea what that is, and it is
not used anyways.

The --diff-cmd and --diff3-cmd switches should stay, as those switches
are used to specify an external, interactive 3-way merge resolution
tool.
