Remember that quilt commands can already be abreviated by the user as
long as it only matches one full command name. So you can keep the long
"description" name, and "quilt desc" will still work for the lazy of us.

Diffstat data doesn't make much sense without an actual diff, which
quilt files doesn't provide. Maybe it would make more sense to add this
option to "quilt diff" instead, but actually "quilt diff | diffstat"
works just fine for me, so I'm not sure we need anything else.
