Thanks, I didn't know about --diff-filter, and it's much better than
some of the atrocious shell 'for' commands I've been using recently.
It's especially helpful this morning because my furnace stopped
working while it was minus thirteen celsius outside, and my fingers
are still numb even though it's fixed now.

Oh, and BTW, I won't even mention the commands I was using to find
empty function bodies (i.e., '{\n}') with grep and sed before I
found out that I can just
  $vim --cmd "vim '{\n}' *.?pp
