Why LOC statistic is very different compared to other tools?

I think that the tool doesn't count lines of code properly, because it shows completely different number compared to other tools like cloc. For example the command git fame -t on a repository I'm working on gives the result:
Total .babel: 29
Total .bash-completion: 12
Total .cfg: 8
Total .gitignore: 34
Total .json: 18
Total .markdown: 511
Total .md: 5
Total .nim: 1782
Total .nimble: 637
Total .txt: 10
Total .yml: 12
Total .zsh-completion: 51
Total commits: 842
Total ctimes: 838
Total files: 314
Total loc: 3109
cloc . --vcs=git on the same repository gives:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Language files blank comment code
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nim 46 869 680 4928
JSON 2 0 0 33
YAML 1 6 1 23
Markdown 1 1 0 4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUM: 50 876 681 4988
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
which seems to me to be more close to the actual count for the languages which both tools detected. For bigger repositories the difference is larger. Also the Ruby version of git fame gives third different numbers which are even more unrealistic, but the last sentence is for their bug tracker. :) The point is that the differences which the different tools give are huge and I'm not sure on which tool to believe.
