I wonder if you want to sort this in the order of return codes.

Symbols "CONFIG_FOO" looks too much like they are about the feature set
chosen when compiling git, at least to me. But I do not think of a better
naming scheme ("CONFIG_ERR_FOO" may be a slight improvement but not good
enough improvement for the price we pay by having such long symbol names).

By the way, Are you still interested in "diff --stat-count" topic, or have
you abandoned it?
