True. It shows that I usually install and use "next" version exclusively, which is fine during the normal development phase, but it was a wrong thing to keep doing just before the release.

I think diff-tree --stat has the same problem in "master", so I'd do it slightly differently.

-- >8 -- Just like "patch" format always needs recursive, "diffstat" format does not make sense without setting recursive.
