Look OK, just one nit:

Seen from here, it would make sense to have 

   print-log (files buffer &optional shortlog start-rev end-rev)

instead.  Now admittedly, `end-rev' will often/usually not be known, but
we could allow it to be an integer rather than a string, in order to
specify the number of revisions to show.

That might also make it easier to move to

    incoming = (print-log files buf short 'working-revision 'upstream)
and
    outgoing = (print-log files buf short 'upstream 'working-revision)

In any case, what it means in the short term is to use

   print-log (files buffer &optional shortlog start-revision limit)
