Can I has tis wiz default? ;) The terminal has fixed width to be apportioned but has an infinite height with scrolling, so that comparison is somewhat bogus. This should be called "count", not "lines". Anticipate a future where we introduce a variant of --stat (in a way similar to how --numstat is a variant of --stat) that displays its result with two lines per entry. Also getting (N+1) "lines" output for specifying N feels very unnatural. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
