Eli Barzilay`git diff' has a `--numstat' flag, but is there any way to *avoid* the numstat? (I'm using `--stat' but want to void the summary line, and I'd like to avoid piping it to `head'.)

So, what DO you want? Except for the different formatting:
--stat output minus --numstat output == summary line
where "summary line" is something like
5 files changed, 5974 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
Do you want to (a)void the numstat or the summary?

Summary is "create mode ..." etc. and you can already enable/disable it.
That "N files +M/-N lines in total" is _not_ a summary; it is an integral part of ascii-graphical --stat output, which is supposed to produce output like "git diff -p | diffstat". We won't split it out of --stat without a very good reason, there doesn't seem to be an option to "diffstat" for such a thing, so...

An option that avoids that summary line.

Right -- I'm asking about the above numstat summary line, which seems to always be included with `--stat'.

Well, the reason is to have an easy-to-glance-over summary of changes for push notification emails. I didn't realize that the intention of --stat was to be completely compatible with `diffstat'.

I think you have it somewhat backwards.
Being the same as normal diffstat output that people are familiar with, the output makes it "an easy-to-glance-over summary of changes" whereever it is used, be it in a notification e-mail or from interactive command output.

(That's true only if the intended audience of these notifications are people who are familiar with diffstat output.)
