Fair enough.
It's pretty natural to add -p or --stat along with the above
options if that is what the user wants. If you make those implied
by using --diff-filter or -S is there a way for the user to say,
no patch and no stat?
Well, I was sneaking in a hidden feature with that tweak.
Regardless of the diff-filter/-S issues, with that alternative
patch, you could do:
$ git log -r
It lets you do a wonderful thing with surprisingly small number
of keystrokes ;-).
