As Heikki points out (and I missed this initially myself), --dirstat[=x] already exists and it gives the cut-off-point. Perhaps "--dirstat-by-file" that implies "--dirstat" (with the understanding (and documentation) that "--dirstat" is a shorthand for "--dirstat-by-line" that does not exist)? -- 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
