git-heatmap | : bar_chart : Display a heatmap for oft-edited files | Data Visualization library

git log --name-status --pretty=format: | sed '/^$/d' | cut --fields=2- | sort | uniq --count | sort --numeric-sort --reverse | head prints the 10 most edited files in a Git repo (based on this). I want to create a Git alias most-edited for this command with one caveat: the command should put any extra arguments into the git log command. This would allow me to run git most-edited 'foo bar/' baz/ to get the most edited files in the foo bar (note the space) and baz directories.

In a script this would be as simple as adding -- "$@" to the git log command. However, if I create an alias most-edited = !git log --name-status --pretty=format: -- "$@" | sed '/^$/d' | cut --fields=2- | sort | uniq --count | sort --numeric-sort --reverse | head the arguments are instead passed to the last command in the pipeline, head. Is there some way to pass the arguments to git log?
