great - this looks really neat!

btw., stupid question: why are the git-shortlog command line arguments 
different from git-log? I got used to things like:

  git-log kernel/

so for me it would be natural to just do:

  git-shortlog -n -s kernel/

but this currently produces this output:

  $ git-shortlog -n -s kernel/
  (reading log to summarize from standard input)

which is quite a bit confusing to someone who'd like to keep as few 
details of command line arguments in his head as possible :-)
