Sorry to bother you again, but my English is very bad and I would like to be clear.

When i say no diff content I mean that git log --log-size -p it's a perfect valid command but --log-size will make git print the size of _only_ the log part, it means from the line after "log size xxx\n" until the end of log message that can be '\0' (if no diff) or the beginning of diff part.

Sorry to be pedantic.
