If you ask "log -p" (or "diff" or "show") to produce a patch, then we use the default 3-line context. And then you feed that to an external diffstat to count the number of deleted and added lines to get one set of numbers. The --numstat (and --diffstat) code seems to be running the internal diff machinery with 0-line context and counting the resulting diff internally. And of course the results between the above two would be different because diff can match lines differently when given different number of context lines to include in the result. So perhaps a good sanity-check for you to try (note: not checking your sanity, but checking the sanity of the above analysis) would be to do: $ git show 48a07e7e53 -- $that_path | diffstat $ git show -U0 48a07e7e53 -- $that_path | diffstat $ git show --numstat 48a07e7e53 -- $that_path $ git show --stat 48a07e7e53 -- $that_path and see how they compare (make sure to use the same version of git for these experiments). The first one uses the default 3-lines context, the second one forces 0-line context, and the last two uses 0-line context hardwired in the code. Applying the following patch should make the last two use the default context or -U$num given from the command line to be consistent with the codepath where we generate textual patches. diff.c | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c index 9038f19..302ef33 100644 --- a/diff.c +++ b/diff.c @@ -2251,6 +2251,8 @@ static void builtin_diffstat(const char *name_a, const char *name_b, memset(&xpp, 0, sizeof(xpp)); memset(&xecfg, 0, sizeof(xecfg)); xpp.flags = o->xdl_opts; + xecfg.ctxlen = o->context; + xecfg.interhunkctxlen = o->interhunkcontext; xdi_diff_outf(&mf1, &mf2, diffstat_consume, diffstat, &xpp, &xecfg); } -- 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
