the instructions to see the example on page 25 indicate to run the following command:

git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before="2013-11-01"

The output of the command matches, but the example on page 25 is not visible with the subsequent command

git log --numstat

In order to see the commits from the example, the previous command should be

git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before="2013-11-11"

(2013-11-11 instead of 2013-11-01)

Kind of serious, because the discussion revolves around commits that are not visible if you are following along in the code.
