It looks OK, tho I'm not convinced about the vc-log-short-style
customization.  Maybe I misunderstand what is meant by "short log", but
I have the impression that you might want both short and long logs both
for dirs and for files, depending on the situation.  So maybe a better
solution would be to use a different command or a prefix arg to choose,
rather than a custom-var.
