So not problems per se, just not very pretty.

I would suggest this instead:

  echo Shortlog:
  git shortlog "origin..$1"
  echo Diffstat:
  git diff --stat --summary -M "origin...$1"

and skip all the merge-base crap (git will do it for you: with a "git
log" you don't need it, and with a "git diff" the three-dot version
will do it for you). And just use "git shortlog" directly.

And the above also uses "--summary" for the "git diff" to show a
summary of renames/deletes.
