I wonder... This all looks fine, but there are actually two different 
"diffs" that can be shown for "git log --diff <pathlimiter>":

 - the whole diff for a commit

 - the path-limited diff

and I think we'd likely want to have some way to select the output. 
Probably with the path-limited diff being the default (that's what 
"git-whatchanged" does), but perhaps with "--full-diff" showing the whole 
commit diff (which is what "gitk" does).
