I know git has a way to show diffs based on words instead of lines. Is there a way to use words instead of lines for these stats? When I'm writing markdown I usually turn on word wrap in my editor, which means there are entire paragraphs on one line.
On the other hand, editing takes a lot of time per word changed, because you have to consider the whole sentence or even paragraph to make sure the grammar is still right, you're not repeating things, and you haven't removed any necessary context. So maybe a bit of overestimation is good.
