No it doesnt. It appears to append stuff like

  delete mode 100644 sound/music/NewTutorialStage.ogg
  delete mode 100644 src/pngfuncs.c
  delete mode 100644 src/pngfuncs.h
  delete mode 100644 src/widgets/widget_text_list.c
  delete mode 100644 src/widgets/widget_text_list.h

to the stat but does not summarize the binary file size changes.
