I think it would be good to make more object returns. So "show_log" is 
just a wrapper around "format_log" which writes the result to a file.

The idea being that you shouldn't have to pass in a StringIO which you 
then have to parse just to get what you care about.

I'm not saying show_log itself has to change, but something like 
"show_delta" gets used a lot as a way to generate a changeset, which 
means that their probably needs to be an easier way to get a nicely 
formed changeset, that isn't printed yet.
