I both agree, but I also try to keep in mind than the (at least most) GNU Coding Standards were thought in a time when we did not have version control solutions as good as git. Using `git blame` or `git log -S` or `git log -G` will actually work better than a file by file summary. If you throw in the `-M` option, it'll work accross renames, for examples. > Attached.
