Hi Petr,

the attached patch introduces the -u option for cg-log. Now you can give
a username or a part of a username and only commits with a matching
author or committer will be displayed.

This patch also changes the option parsing, because otherwise we are
stuck to a specific order.

Regards

Marcel

Dear diary, on Mon, May 09, 2005 at 02:49:33AM CEST, I got a letter

I think that one should be in a separate patch.

At any rate, could you please resend the patch(es) signed off?
