Ugh... that looks way too baroque.  I don't want to have to make
multiple decisions and follow deep branching menu structures for such a
common operation.  Morever, combining shifted and unshifted keys in a
binding _really_ slow down invocation (and raise the error rate).

I think it should just use the traditional binding, with prefix-arg
toggling short/long.  The default short/long choice can be customizable
(dunno what the best default would be tho).

Not sure about root/file logs; both are useful, but maybe it's enough
if using the normal log command in dired/vc-dired buffers gets the root
log?
