python implementation of diffstat

Implemented as two functions: diffstat, which yields lines of text,
formatted as a usual diffstat output, and diffstatdata, which is called
inside diffstat to do real performing and yield file names with
appropriate data (numbers of added and removed lines).

#!/usr/bin/env python

__doc__ = """Same as `echo a >> b`, but ensures a changed mtime of b.
Without this svn will not detect workspace changes."""

import sys, os

text = sys.argv[1]
fname = sys.argv[2]

f = open(fname, "ab")
try:
    before = os.fstat(f.fileno()).st_mtime
    f.write(text)
    f.write("\n")
finally:
    f.close()
inc = 1
now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
while now == before:
    t = now + inc
    inc += 1
    os.utime(fname, (t, t))
    now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
