Here's an attempt to do that. The main patch is 4/5 to implement
--dynstat. 5/5 just makes merge/pull pass --dynstat to diff machinery.

--dynstat tries various diff output and use one that fits within 50
lines:

 --patch + --shortstat
 --stat (maybe plus --summary)
 --dirstat + --shortstat
 --shortstat

Many hardcoded constants should be more flexible (i.e. 50 lines limit
could be retrieved from terminal settigns), but that's minor for
now imo. I think we should also hint users to do
"git diff --stat --summary HEAD@{1} HEAD" too via advice framework if
we turn --dynstat to default for merge/pull

I have not run "make test" so it may break a few tests because of 2/2.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (5):
  diff: add space around "="
  diff: do not duplicate shortstat with "git diff --stat --shortstat"
  diff: buffer dirstat output
  diff: add --dynstat
  merge: support setting merge.[diff]stat to dynstat
