For new files, " (new)" will be appended to filenames.
For deleted files, " (deleted)" will be appended to filenames.

Hi Junio,

I have used this patch for a while and found it actually useful,
especially while inspecting "git-log --stat". And if you prefer "git
diff --stat" over "git status", it may tell you which file you added
or deleted. So my only guess is that you missed it somehow. If it is
refused, may I know the reason? I can improve it on request :-)

Doesn't seem to add much value over existing --summary.

Oh.. I didn't know that option. Sorry for the noise.
