Nope, that still generates thousands of lines of wrongness.

It's also very slow, for a non-empty tree:

git-log --cherry-pick origin...git-audit-master > /dev/null  50.47s user 0.56s system 99% cpu 51.043 total

git-diff origin...git-audit-master > /dev/null  0.35s user 0.02s system 100% cpu 0.369 total

weird that it's hundreds of times slower than the corresponding git-diff. 
he-who-pulls-75-trees would be unhappy.

Back to my original problem...

>From my old script:

doit()
{
	tree=$1
	upstream=$2

	cd $GIT_TREE
	git reset --hard "$upstream"
	git fetch "$tree" || exit 1
	git merge --no-commit 'test merge' HEAD FETCH_HEAD > /dev/null

	{
		git_header "$tree"
		git log --no-merges ORIG_HEAD..FETCH_HEAD
		git diff --patch-with-stat ORIG_HEAD
	} >$PULL/$tree.patch
	{
		echo DESC
		echo $tree.patch
		echo EDESC
		git_header "$tree"
		git log --no-merges ORIG_HEAD..FETCH_HEAD
	} >$PULL/$tree.txt
	git reset --hard "$upstream"
}

the `git log' here does what I want.

The new version:

doit()
{
	tree=$1
	upstream=$2

	cd $GIT_TREE
	git reset --hard "$upstream"
	git fetch "$tree" || exit 1

	{
		git_header "$tree"
		git log --no-merges $upstream...$tree
		git diff -p --stat --no-merges $upstream...$tree
	} >$PULL/$tree.patch
	{
		echo DESC
		echo $tree.patch
		echo EDESC
		git_header "$tree"
#		git log --no-merges $upstream...$tree
	} >$PULL/$tree.txt
	git reset --hard "$upstream"
}

loses the changelogs :(
