Does anyone know if there is any tools available for counting the line of
codes in the project using GIT?

How to count the code changes on the specific branch?
How to count the delta lines between one tag and its successive tag?

wc -l *.c *.h for example would count the lines of all c-files and 
their headers.

wc for the total number of lines in files, or
http://www.dwheeler.com/sloccount/ to get the number of lines of code
(excluding blank lines and such).

Or Ohcount (OSS part of Ohloh) from http://labs.ohloh.net/ohcount

Or GitStat (but that is web-based) which you can see at work at
http://mirror.celinuxforum.org/gitstat/

Or git-statistic GSoC 2008 project http://repo.or.cz/w/git-stats.git
