When I specify --short (actually, it's my default), I want a display
that doesn't show merges.

I never run status without --short.  I think it's a superior way of
displaying status information.  I'd like it to be used everywhere, or at
least I want the *option* of using it everywhere.

That would be okay with me.  I think at one point we were going to make
log -vv show diffs, but we later decided to have a --show-diffs option
instead.
