Strike that, I now have a better idea.

`C-u C-x v l' could ask for more additional command line arguments like
"--stat", "--graph", "--pretty", "--since", "--author", "--no-merges",
most useful of which could be added to the default value list of the
minibuffer.  This would allow the user to build complex queries.
