Sure, but this is even worse, because the way you wrote the patch, now

	git log --shortlog

will act as a filter too, which is even *more* confusing.

You also broke something even more fundamental. Try this:

	git log -- --shortlog

with your patch ;)

But yeah, if "cmd_shortlog()" worked like "git log" (at least if it sees 
the "--shortlog" flag) and with that obvious filename parsing thing fixed, 
that thing would be fine.
