Right now doing "bzr log --short" is effectively:

"bzr log --use-the-short-log-formatter --no-merges"

The way the bug proposed it, "bzr log --short -v" would become:

"bzr log --use-the-short-log-formatter --no-merges --use-short-status"

So supplying "--short" effectively expands into 3 orthogonal options.
