Looks very nice now. Thanks.

My only slight complaint is that I think it should be possible to do

	git log --cc --stat

to get both patches and stat, but that doesn't work. You have to write

	git log --cc --patch-with-stat

to get both ;/

But that's just a small (and unimportant) detail.

Here's another really small detail: with merges, there's two newlines 
between the diffstat and the diff. That bug doesn't show up with regular 
commits.

But this all looks very nice. I agree that "git log --stat" is a very nice 
way to look at the log, much better than "git-whatchanged". And the thing 
that has really fallen out of this all is how you can do

	git log --stat --full-diff drivers/pci/

which git-whatchanged historically didn't support (of course, now it 
does, but you're right, the new "git log" is so nice that I'm starting to 
teach myself not to use "git whatchanged" any more).
