```
git log                    log only
git log --stat             log with stat
git log -p                 log with patch
git log --stat -p          log with patch (no stat!)
git log -p --stat          log with stat (no patch!)
git log --patch-with-stat  log with patch and stat

This patch makes -p --stat and --stat -p work like --patch-with-stat.

  Maybe DIFF_FORMAT_* should be reworked instead but this was easy.

  Only negative impact of this patch is that if you have a alias

     l=log --stat

  then you can't override --stat with "git l -p", it will still show
  diffstat, but I don't think it matters.

I do not think it matters that much either, but DIFF_FORMAT_*
really should be reworked regardless.  --with-foo should really
be independent switches that can be added together, perhaps.

So how would we go about this?  A strawman.

The diff output has four parts, each of which can independently
be enabled.  When no options are specified on the command line,
each command has its own default but in general the low-level
commands default to raw output only, and the higher-level ones
default to patch output only.

The four parts are controlled with a bit each, and are output in
the fixed order (iow the order of the options given from the
command line does not matter): raw, stat, summary and patch.

When --name-only or --name-status is specified, that would be
the only thing that is output (iow the above four parts would
not be shown, just names optionally with the status are shown).

The four switches are: --raw, --stat, --summary and --patch.
Existing flags are supported as obvious shorthands to turn on
the corresponding bits:

	-p, -u			--patch
        --patch-with-raw	--raw --patch
        --patch-with-stat	--stat --patch

Anybody interested in doing a patch?

```

I'll try. It shouldn't be too hard.
