Sorry if I de-railed the earlier conversation. The shortlog
group-by-trailer work didn't seem useful enough for me to make it a
priority.
I'm OK with the approach your patch takes, but I think there were some
unresolved issues:
- are we OK taking the short "-c" for this, or do we want
"--group-by=committer" or something like it?
- no tests; you can steal the general form from my [1]
- no documentation (can also be stolen from [1], though the syntax is
quite different)
