Generate a diff using the "patience diff" algorithm.
--stat[=<width>[,<name-width>[,<count>]]]::
- 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.
+ Generate a diffstat. By default, as much space as necessary
+ will be used for the filename part, and the rest for
+ the graph part. Maximum width defaults to terminal width,
+ or 80 columns if not connected to a terminal, and can be
+ overriden by `<width>`. The width of the filename part can be
+ limited by giving another width `<name-width>` after a comma.
By giving a third parameter `<count>`, you can limit the
- output to the first `<count>` lines, followed by
- `...` if there are more.
+ output to the first `<count>` lines, followed by `...` if
+ there are more.

These parameters can also be set individually with `--stat-width=<width>`,
`--stat-name-width=<name-width>` and `--stat-count=<count>`.
Show the context between diff hunks, up to the specified number
of lines, thereby fusing hunks that are close to each other.
