Right. Somehow git patches have a tendency to grow in scope; while I was trying to refactor them in good ways, I couldn't help notice that shortlog falls in the same category.

(Probably there's another log-like command that I missed?)

For me that falls in the "mangles history in horrible ways" category, but since you use it, I put it in.

2/2 is new; I figured since gitk has this bit of code already, why not have git-log do it the same way?

Thomas Rast (2):
  bash completion: refactor common log, shortlog and gitk options
  bash completion: only show 'log --merge' if merging
