I think that these are actual history operations:

changed → changed back = 2 operations.

So to me, that would not be double counting but actually correct counting.

Take the pathologic case of two people changing something back and forth from 
each others versions. If I were to pull these and only look at the stats, it 
would look for me as if nothing changed. But in truth they created a horrible 
mess of history… 

On the other hand, all of those changes are irrelevant to the current state of 
the repo - but I think showing them is less surprising.

I would ask others opinions, too, though.

Best wishes,
Arne

The police had to hold the sign.
