This script was meant for reporting so it's just useful because of the
graphs and the fact it can do all in one operation.

Most of all, when someone does a talk and shows up some graph,
it would be both easier and valid to tell it's using scripts/checkstat
on kernel x.y rather than sparse operations someone won't
easily reproduce.

I don't think using directly git operations would be a good thing.
This script could be used directly downloading tar.gz without it.
(Of course Git could be bring nice options in future versions :)).

Fabian
