I think Aron meant

$ git diff master...barry/reduce-dmsetup-da-memoryusage

which is equivalent to

$ git diff $(git merge-base master barry/reduce-dmsetup-da-memoryusage)..barry/reduce-dmsetup-da-memoryusage

You might also use something like

$ git log --stat master..barry/reduce-dmsetup-da-memoryusage
