Well, I was looking at the use of diff-filter and -S as a way
to prune uninteresting commits from the log rather than as an 
desire to see the patch information.

It's pretty natural to add -p or --stat along with the above 
options if that is what the user wants.  If you make those implied
by using --diff-filter or -S is there a way for the user to say,
no patch and no stat?
