BTW, Junio, why does git-commit need to display the diffstat?
You just made the commit ...

Don't ask me.  It was not my idea.

We only had --summary per popular list request, and it made
certain amount of sense since addition/deletion are notable
events that do not happen with _every_ commit.

So how about this?


Personally I quite like the shortstat ... and certainly is/will be more
useful to me than having the commit subject - despite normally having more
terminals lying around than is good for my sanity.

Can't we keep it? It's not like it takes up much space ...

What's it used for? Would it make more sense to have it show
up in the commit log editor, with the list of files being checked in?


I use git add -i quite a lot, so often the same file shows up in both the files that are being committed and in the list of files that have uncomitted changes. The shortstat gives me confidence that the commit was about the right size.
