Very interesting addition, indeed - thanks much.

Some information may still be missing, though:

- the default value of the numeric argument to -M/-C
- the meaning of numeric arguments to the various flags when several
  are given (eg. what does "blame -M10 -C5 -C15" mean ?)
- the numeric arguments are not visible in the summary

On another aspect, given the nature of repetitive -C we may want to warn the user of bomb out if more than 3 occurences of the flag happen ?

Ah, thanks a lot for these advice, I will add them on next version of this patch.

En, sound rationale, I think. I will try another patch to add this. Thanks!
