 --stat[=<width>[,<name-width>[,<count>]]]::
        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.
-       The width of the graph part can be limited by using
-       `--stat-graph-width=<width>`.

+       a stat graph) or by setting `diff.statGraphWidth=<width>`
+       (does not affect `git format-patch`).
        By giving a third parameter `<count>`, you can limit the
        output to the first `<count>` lines, followed by `...` if
        there are more.
