This should not be true. Any "diffstat"s should be converted to use "git-apply --stat" instead. I don't find any diffstat users, so maybe you just remember it from "the old days", and didn't realize that it's not needed any more. [ That said, anybody who wants to install git might as well install diffstat, it's a useful program in general, and works on more than just unified diffs ] Linus
