But 640K^W 64-bits should be large enough for anyone! :)
But yes, you're right. Updated patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] diff: use large integers for diffstat calculations

The diffstat "added" and "changed" fields generally store line counts; however, for binary files, they store file sizes. Since we store and print these values as ints, a diffstat on a file larger than 2G can show a negative size. Instead, let's use uintmax_t, which should be at least 64 bits on modern platforms.
