Hmm, I got the top 3 spot for most lines changed due to my libtraceevents library finally making it into the kernel tools directory from trace-cmd and incorporated into perf.

Should we really be posting changes to the tools directory as those that wrote 3.5 kernel?

Hey! I like being at #3, but really, it wasn't for my work in the kernel.

Is there a reason you're piping to diffstat instead of using git log's --stat flag?

How do you get --stat to show all changes? If I do git log ---stat against a bunch of different commits, it shows me only the changes against each commit individually and not a total of all commits. diffstat shows me a total of all changes at the end, which is what the tail -1 showed.

Ah, yeah, I see now. I would have done the backbone of your command with 'git diff --stat v3.4..v3.5', but the filter on the author means that log needs to be used which chunks the stat outputs. I rarely filter using log on things other than directory while also looking at --stat, so why it was missing --stat wasn't immediately obvious to me.
