Yes, but it makes sense for merges where you generally pull someone elses work or one of your topic branches because it gives a general feel for the amount of modifications and are a sort of conclusion. Commits are a different thing, because you should know what kind of changes you've just done. If you don't you have other problems. I for one run git diff quite frequently when I'm getting close to a commit to make sure I don't get only the changes I want. I imagine others do too, so getting a diffstat when issuing the actual commit would just be noisy and irritating.

I do the same (diff a lot before commit) and thus find commit
outputting anything at all to be noisy and irritating.  Frankly
the new


I could live with one line (Committed revision %d), but a diffstat is always 3 lines minimum, which might well turn out to be 2 lines more than I changed. That's way too noisy.
