Hi,
Here are steps of what I am doing:
First, I created two commits to a demo project.
when I use command: git format-patch --cover-letter -1
cat 0000-cover-letter.patch

ok, you can see the cover letter has diffstat, just above "--".
Then I change command to:
git format-patch --cover-letter -2
cat 0000-cover-letter.patch

Comparing with last command, I just want to get 2 patches, but this time the diffstat is missing.
I am not sure if this is a bug or I miss some options.
I googled this issue, but not got too much.
Thanks for your time. Fanjun Kong
