Funny you should mention it... I recently was exposed to Formal Concept 
Analysis, and immediately thought that this would have applications in the 
visualization of source codes' histories.

Maybe there is a way to apply Bayesian Inference to determine a subset 
which bears the highest information / subset size ratio.

As for reducing the number of lines in the shortlog: taking myself as an 
example, I often touch the same code several times, just to fix bugs. So, 
if the same code was touched several times, just take the first oneline, 
and add "(+fixes)". Of course, this is more like a wedding between 
shortlog and annotate, and likely to be slow.

Ciao,
Dscho
