Ummh, my mistake.

I've been meaning to write this email for long (since I noticed I couldn't
get the statistics script to report new file line counts), and now that I
did it, I didn't check the actual problem carefully enough.

The actual problem still remains, I think it would be more consistent to
report the line counts for all revisions.

It think it would be nice and more consistent. The only problem I see that
if someone has worked around the lack of line numbers in a statistic script,
that might break.

BTW: is that "not too difficult to add" to be taken as "even you¹ could cook
up the patch" or "easy enough for a seasoned CVS hacker"
