FWIW, git request-pull is very likely to make complete mess of
diffstat - all it takes is branch started at -rc1, then a merge from
anything started at later point (e.g. Miklos asking to pull ->d_real()
work from his tree into vfs.git, with his branch starting at -rc5).

I've ended up doing git fetch origin; git checkout -b XXX origin; git
merge work.misc; git diff XXX --stat and replacing the mess produced by
git-request-pull with that. It works, of course, but what worries me
is that less obvious mess could've slipped unnoticed. Might make sense
to teach git request-pull to warn about likely bogus diffstat...
