Git stats can aggregate diffs, so it can show you "this author made changes to this many lines to this file in total", but it doesn't work across renames. It also has an option to aggregate that to a total per project number, but I'm not sure how useful that is to your case, as you seem to be interested in a per-file/line basis? I agree with Jeff that you'll need to define more precisely what it is you want to know :). -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
