very handy indeed.

I was surprised on initial use that --stat is limited to the file specified in "A" and doesn't expand to describe the entire commit that touches "A". (ie. the stat output is a subset of what is associated with the displayed commit comments).

This, of course, is clear now, it just isn't what I expected on first use.

thanks, -Len
