I don't want to have to make multiple decisions and follow deep branching menu structures for such a common operation. Morever, combining shifted and unshifted keys in a binding _really_ slow down invocation (and raise the error rate). I think it should just use the traditional binding, with prefix-arg toggling short/long. The default short/long choice can be customizable (dunno what the best default would be tho). Not sure about root/file logs; both are useful, but maybe it's enough if using the normal log command in dired/vc-dired buffers gets the root log? -Miles -- .Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
