Thinking some more about this, I have to say, I do hate the syntax. It may be clear thanks to being verbose, but it's _hell_ to write. It has the same problem the "--stat-with-patch" argument had: sure, it worked, but it was really really inconvenient, and just doing a combination of "--stat -p" is much nicer. So how about just extending the existing "--stat" thing, and just making it do something like git diff --stat=72,30 instead (perhaps along with a config option to set the defaults to something else if we want to). What do you think? I'm just pretty sure I will never _ever_ bother to type --stat-name-width=30 in my life except right now to complain about it. I just can't see myself ever caring _that_ much. But "--stat=100" to see a wider stat, that I could see myself doing. Or "--stat=100,100" if I want to see long filenames too.
