Hmm.. This should not be true. Any "diffstat"s should be converted to use
"git-apply --stat" instead.

I don't find any diffstat users, so maybe you just remember it from "the old days", and didn't realize that it's not needed any more.

Okay, just FYI: As far as my installation history remembers it was needed
at least up to:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/git-20050622.tar.bz2
Which is _NOT_ recommended for new installations!
(Can somebody please remove/mark that old stuff to avoid using it?!)

Instead use:
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/git-snapshots/git/git-latest.tar.gz

[ That said, anybody who wants to install git might as well install diffstat, it's a useful program in general, and works on more than just unified diffs ]

true.

Greets,
