Yes, thanks for your help in there.

I've actually just got it working again (I think) so early next week
I'll be publishing it to launchpad (once cleaned up etc).

At the moment, it actually just adds a command (diffstat) and no
options. As we discussed, I think it just needs to add new options to
existing commands, so I'll do that next (and throw away the existing
command), making it more useful and fit for inclusion in core.
