My early experiments with your script are good for speed, but for some reason I'm always getting the first commit for a file rather than the most recent.  I'll do some experimenting to see if I can uncover the issue.

(I had seen the script earlier, but I didn't realize the fix for diff-tree had made it into a release already) 

Thanks,
Stephen
