$ git init-db
$ date > file1
$ git add file1; git commit -a -m "file1 added"
$ date > file2
$ git add file2; git commit -a -m "file2 added"
$ git show --stat HEAD
$ git show --stat HEAD^

I can understand while people get confused.  Two patches, both add a file.  
git-show on one of them shows a stat; on the other it doesn't.
