I'd suggest no - the line count is primarily there to make the output
reliably machine-parsable. The log message needs to be counted, because the
user can specify any contents - including lines which look like the
end-of-log line of dashes. The "Changed paths" section, on the other hand,
adheres to a regular format, and doesn't need to be counted to determine its
end with certainty.
