Subject: [PATCH] merge/pull: --compact-summary
Date: Sun, 08 Jun 2025 09:05:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqq5xh6xlpm.fsf@gitster.g> (raw)
By default, "git merge" and "git pull" shows "git diff --stat @{1}"
to show the extent of the changes. While it gives a good overview,
one thing that is missing in this output is which paths are created
and/or deleted.
Introduce "--compact-summary" option to these two commands that
tells it to instead show "git diff --compact-summary @{1}", which
gives the same diffstat but notes the created or deleted paths.
