I don't think that is a good idea.

The value of this option is very low. The poster on stackoverflow shows 
some alternatives that works just fine - and there is even a windows 
version. It might be nice to have in some situations, but certainly not 
needed.

The command is dangerous. It would make it too easy to collapse a set of 
carefully prepared patches. It do especially not deserve a short option.

Because the command is dangerous and non-reversible it would have to be 
documented and described very clearly what it does and how dangerous it is.

My conclusion: Not worth it.

ps: the patch itself looks fine, but note that we always indent 4 spaces
