Why split this patch in two? It is better to have new feature and
documentation together, I think.

Why invent new convention, instead of using -<n> like git-log?
Why do not use --abbrev or --abbrev-commit? -<n> is used elsewhere
to limit number of commits...

Why not -R like in git-diff?

I'm not sure if -d/-D is the best name of this short option...
