I usually use 'git diff --stat' for this -- quite convenient and works
even outside of Git [1] repo. It prints someting like this:

 path/file1.lua                |   62 +++++
 file2.lua                         |  260 +++++++++++++++++++-
 file3.lua                         |   63 +++---
 3 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-)

The --shortstat option displays last line only.

Your tool have one advantage though (aside from being written in Lua)
-- it shows "modified" count. Also it have to be run on actual
sources, not on patch file. :-)
