 589 <p>Generate a diffstat. By default, as much space as necessary
 590 will be used for the filename part, and the rest for the graph
 591 part. Maximum width defaults to terminal width, or 80 columns
 592 if not connected to a terminal, and can be overridden by
 593 <em>&lt;width&gt;</em>. The width of the filename part can be limited by
 594 giving another width <em>&lt;name-width&gt;</em> after a comma or by setting
 595 <code>diff.statNameWidth=</code><em>&lt;name-width&gt;</em>. The width of the graph part can be
 596 limited by using <code>--stat-graph-width=</code><em>&lt;graph-width&gt;</em> or by setting
 597 <code>diff.statGraphWidth=</code><em>&lt;graph-width&gt;</em>. Using <code>--stat</code> or
 598 <code>--stat-graph-width</code> affects all commands generating a stat graph,

 656 files, count 64-byte chunks instead, since binary files have no
 657 natural concept of lines). This is a more expensive <code>--dirstat</code>
 658 behavior than the <code>changes</code> behavior, but it does count rearranged
 659 lines within a file as much as other changes. The resulting output

1903 <p>The <code>--summary</code> option describes newly added, deleted, renamed and
1904 copied files.  The <code>--stat</code> option adds <code>diffstat</code>(1) graph to the

1906 <code>-p</code>, and are meant for human consumption.</p>

1909 <p>When showing a change that involves a rename or a copy, <code>--stat</code> output
1910 formats the pathnames compactly by combining common prefix and suffix of
1911 the pathnames.  For example, a change that moves <code>arch/i386/Makefile</code> to
1912 <code>arch/x86/Makefile</code> while modifying 4 lines will be shown like this:</p>
