Fix '--dirstat' with cross-directory renaming
The dirstat code depends on the fact that we always generate diffs with the names sorted, since it then just does a single-pass walk-over of the sorted list of names and how many changes there were. The sorting means that all files are nicely grouped by directory. That all works fine. Except when we have rename detection, and suddenly the nicely sorted list of pathnames isn't all that sorted at all. And now the single-pass dirstat walk gets all confused, and you can get results like this: [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5 3.0% arch/powerpc/configs/ 6.8% arch/arm/configs/ 2.7% arch/powerpc/configs/ 4.2% arch/arm/configs/ 5.6% arch/powerpc/configs/ 8.4% arch/arm/configs/ 5.5% arch/powerpc/configs/ 23.3% arch/arm/configs/ 8.6% arch/powerpc/configs/ 4.0% arch/ 4.4% drivers/usb/musb/ 4.0% drivers/watchdog/ 7.6% drivers/ 3.5% fs/ The trivial fix is to add a sorting pass, fixing it to: [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5 43.0% arch/arm/configs/ 25.5% arch/powerpc/configs/ 5.3% arch/ 4.4% drivers/usb/musb/ 4.0% drivers/watchdog/ 7.6% drivers/ 3.5% fs/ Spot the difference. In case anybody wonders: it's because of a ton of renames from {include/asm-blackfin => arch/blackfin/include/asm} that just totally messed up the file ordering in between arch/arm and arch/powerpc.
