The `--stat` option adds diffstat(1) graph to the -output. These options can be combined with other options, such as -`-p`, and are meant for human consumption. - -When showing a change that involves a rename or a copy, `--stat` output -formats the pathnames compactly by combining common prefix and suffix of -the pathnames. For example, a change that moves `arch/i386/Makefile` to -`arch/x86/Makefile` while modifying 4 lines will be shown like this: - ------------------------------------- -arch/{i386 => x86}/Makefile | 4 +-- ------------------------------------- - -The `--numstat` option gives the diffstat(1) information but is designed -for easier machine consumption. An entry in `--numstat` output looks -like this: - ----------------------------------------- -1 2 README -3 1 arch/{i386 => x86}/Makefile ----------------------------------------- - -That is, from left to right: - -. the number of added lines; -. a tab; -. the number of deleted lines; -. a tab; -. pathname (possibly with rename/copy information); -. a newline. - -When `-z` output option is in effect, the output is formatted this way: - ----------------------------------------- -1 2 README NUL -3 1 NUL arch/i386/Makefile NUL arch/x86/Makefile NUL ----------------------------------------- - -That is: - -. the number of added lines; -. a tab; -. the number of deleted lines; -. a tab; -. a NUL (only exists if renamed/copied); -. pathname in preimage; -. a NUL (only exists if renamed/copied); -. pathname in postimage (only exists if renamed/copied); -. a NUL. - -The extra `NUL` before the preimage path in renamed case is to allow -scripts that read the output to tell if the current record being read is -a single-path record or a rename/copy record without reading ahead. -After reading added and deleted lines, reading up to `NUL` would yield -the pathname, but if that is `NUL`, the record will show two paths. |
