For the record: I think the changes are fine and have no further 
(important) comments.

BUT I have been so deeply involved in the refinement of the patches that 
I think I'm too biased to make the final review.

I'm mostly concerned that these patches changes the user interface a bit 
more than they ideally should. But they changes one of the most 
interactive commands we have, so scripting shouldn't be an issue. They 
changes the --diffstat option that seems very "special" and probably 
isn't used very much. The patches makes Mercurial more consistent and 
makes cleanups that makes the code the way it IMHO should have been from 
the beginning - or updates it to follow how the rest of Mercurial has 
evolved.

Could some other crew member - or someone who feels something for 
patchbomb - please review and comment?
