Just to tone down this statistics a bit.  The vast majority of changes
are in fact code relocations with no changes e.g. the change in
rectangle_set is purely moving code from one file to another.  Also, we
should ignore the changes in the src directory since those files are
only for internal unit tests, that are not even accessible from the
consumer code.  There are other files that are not relevant to the
actual code change that affects the LibO code, such as rpm spec file, my
editor's project file etc.

With that, the real change that directly affects LibreOffice code is
much much smaller than "a couple of thousands of LOC" that you say.

I'm just mentioning this so that we can make a decision based on more
meaning analysis than simply running stats on all changes when in fact
not all changes are relevant to our code base.

Peace,

Kohei
