I use git diff --summary --numstat <commit> to report the files
modified, created, and deleted between the current commit and some
prior commit. The --stat and --numstat options count the lines added
and deleted for each file. Is there a way to report the lines modified
for each file. For example:

Given content below for commit 1:
aaaaa
ccccc

Given content below for commit 2:
aaaaa
bbbbb
ccccc

Given content below for commit 3:
Aaaaa
Bbbbb
ccccc
ddddd

git diff --numstat between commits 1 and 2 will report one line added.
git diff --numstat between commits 2 and 3 will report three lines
added and two lines deleted.
I'd like to see the diff between commits 2 and 3 report two lines
modified and one line added.
Can this be done?

Best,
Carter
