You seem to be cutting-and-pasting your diffstats from a *very* wide
terminal window, resulting in a very messy diffstat result.

Please either pipe the git request-pull output to some tool (I suggest
just piping to 'xsel' or similar that does the 'cut' part for you, but
anything works - you can just do "| cat" to make the stdout not be the
terminal).

Or just use "--stat=80" to set the output width to a fixed sane thing,
instead of that insane 250+ character window width that it seems you
are using and that causes those overlong diffstat lines and makes it
all hard to read.
