Junio, I just tested the "master" branch, and "git log --stat" doesn't 
work there. You may _think_ it works because you've tested it on the git 
tree, were it looks like it is working, but it's missing setting 
"recursive", so it won't actually go into any subdirectories (so it mostly 
works for git itself which has most stuff in the top-level directory, but 
it almost completely doesn't work for linux)

"git log -r --stat" works, so it's really just a missing that.

Something like this (this is master, not "next").

"next" actually has the same bug, but there it is hidden because "git log" 
sets recursive automatically. Which may or may not be appropriate. It 
might be worthwhile to fix it properly in "next" too (there the same 

	if (...output_format == DIFF_FORMAT_PATCH)
		...recursive = 1;

is in revision.c: setup_revisions()).
