Double-oops: this isn't useful, it only shows the difference in what 
branches were *measured*.  It won't show you the difference in the 
branches analyzed, and therefore new missing branches.

The XML report will be the best way to see the differences.  You can 
remove some of the noise with:  sed 's/-rate="[0-9.]*"//g'
