I have only looked at the 'merge.diffstat' config variable, and wanted
to make the command line option consistent with it.  But you are right,
'--stat' is better, because it's in sync with other commands as well.

The first patch is an independent documentation cleanup that could be
merged regardless of the other patches, but the others depend on it.

Patches 2-5 are implementing your first four point.  Patch 4 not only
adds the 'merge.log' config variable, but also adds corresponding
command line options.

Finally, the last patch removes all the deprecated stuff.
