How the heck did you generate that diffstat? The names should be
ordered, and are for me.
Anyway, pulled. Just curious about how that thing happened.

That's because apparently diffstat obeys orderfile rules:
Ugh. I guess that makes sense, but it's still very annoying for
something like a pull request, where now different people end up
having different diffstats. And the reason I never noticed it is that
likely there aren't that many people who use an orderfile.
I guess something like "-O /dev/null" in the pull-request would undo
it, but it is a bit annoying.
I've never actually met anybody (knowingly) that used that option. I
thought it was a Junio-only use case (it's been around forever as a
command line option, but the config file entry seems to be somewhat
recent and I wasn't even aware of it).
Adding Junio just as background to see what he thinks. Looks like the
diff.orderfile config option hits not just porcelain, but plumbing
too.
