Ah, that sort of makes sense.  On the other hand you could run
git-shortlog in a separate directory right now by piping the
git-log output to "(cd somewhere && git-shortlog)", so...

Come to think of it, why not make git-shortlog take the same set
of parameters as git-log takes (perhaps except --pretty)?  Then 
the issues you raised starts to make sense and we would
certainly want -m MAPFILE option there.
