+--stat[=width[,name-width]]::
+       Generate a diffstat.  You can override the default
+       output width for 80-column terminal by "--stat=width".
+       The width of the filename part can be controlled by
+       giving another width to it separated by a comma.
+
+--numstat::
+       Similar to \--stat, but shows number of added and
+       deleted lines in decimal notation and pathname without
+       abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly.  For
+       binary files, outputs two `-` instead of saying
+       `0 0`.
+
+--shortstat::
+       Output only the last line of the --stat format containing total
+       number of modified files, as well as number of added and deleted
+       lines.
