Hmm. I get very different statistics:

27 files changed, 434 insertions(+), 359 deletions(-)

You seem to use "git diff -w" to ignore whitespace changes, which explains
it, but please don't - it makes it harder to compare with expected
results, and it hides some changes entirely.

I do agree that using '-w' is often useful, but especially for the purpose
of letting people know what changed it kind of avoids the point by hiding
many things.
