The object would do the right thing if we wanted 'commit' to be the
default action for commits, but we actually want shortlogs in that
case.

However, this remark of yours makes me think of a different way to
approach the problem: create an 'objectview' action that acts just
like object, but actually maps those objects to an appropriate default
view. I'd like to hear Petr's and Jakub's opinion, and if they think
it's a better approach than the latest version of my patch
http://marc.info/?l=git&m=121941177812828&w=2 (which has not received
any comments yet), I'll implemented it that way.
