While testing qgit with the new rename/copy support I found this (possible) bug playing on git tree.

$ git-diff-tree -r --stat 6973dca
6973dcaee76ef7b7bfcabd2f26e76205aae07858
  Makefile                      |    2
 diff-files.c                  |  212 +----
 diff-lib.c                    | 1862 ++---------------------------------------
 diff.c                        | 1795 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 diff.h                        |    7

IMHO the bug is
   "diff-lib.c => diff.c          |    0"
instead of
   "diff-lib.c => diff.c          |    1795"

because, after the patch applied, in the repository we have 1953-1929=24 lines of code more, not 1953-134= 1819 less.

Thanks Marco
