Well, the scaling I propose _is_  linear for small changes. More
importantly, the existing scheme is not linear across the diffs
either. Different stats may _look_ the same but be very different in
size in the existing scheme already. My proposal is invariant across
diff stats. Junio's argument that a change of 30 doesn't look like a
half of 60 is valid, of course. Does anyone really checks this with a
ruler?
