Hi,

there's a different output when committing change and when merging change for a binary file. Do the insertions/deletions have any meaning for binary files?

For example:

$ git commit -m Updated
[topic 5da30ce] Updated
 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 103 deletions(-)
 rewrite blob.o (100%)

$ git merge topic
Updating 75ab259..5da30ce
Fast-forward
 blob.o |  Bin 25920 -> 4364 bytes
 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
