           Summary: `webkit-patch upload` runs git-diff at least 3 times,
                    which is slow
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

`webkit-patch upload` runs git-diff at least 3 times:

1) when finding ChangeLogs to parse for bug IDs
2) when running check-webkit-style (I think)
3) when creating the diff to present to the user for confirmation

There might be other instances of git-diff that I've missed.

It would be faster if we could just run git-diff once.
