The position of A+x column is exactly where gerrit put it. Though web
pages have more flexibility than our terminal console so its position
does not have to be the same. I'm just throwing options out there
For many years I have this instead
t/t5573-pull-verify-signatures.sh (new +x) | 81 ++++++++++++++++++++
Another option is just wrap the code in [] to make it look like check
boxes. But that wastes two more columns
builtin/merge.c | 2 +
[A+x] t/t5573-pull-verify-signatures.sh | 81 ++++++++++++++++++++++++
t/t7612-merge-verify-signatures.sh | 45 +++++++++++++
Back to your suggestion, I kinda like the closeness between the +/-
count and "|" though. The output on 10c78a162f is like this, which
makes "A" looks a bit umm.. disconnected from the path name?
Documentation/RelNotes/2.14.0.txt | A 97 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
GIT-VERSION-GEN | 2 +-
RelNotes | 2 +-
Another way is just separate the status code from file name
A | Documentation/RelNotes/2.14.0.txt | 97 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
| GIT-VERSION-GEN | 2 +-
| RelNotes | 2 +-
Last note. With colored diffstat, we should be able to use a separate
color (or something in the +/- part) to denote new/deleted files. I
didn't think about this...

It might go with --numstat or --dirstat in future too. Didn't really
think hard about this yet. But I probably will go with Eric suggestion
and keep this in --stat=.... unless it really makes sense to have
something like this in --numstat or --dirstat.
