--dirstat[=limit]::
- Output only the sub-directories that are impacted by a diff,
- and to what degree they are impacted. You can override the
- default cut-off in percent (3) by "--dirstat=limit". If you
- want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use
- the "--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively
- even when they have been already reported for a sub-directory.
+ Output the distribution of relative amount of changes (number of lines added or
+ removed) for each sub-directory. Directories with changes below
+ a cut-off percent (3% by default) are not shown. The cut-off percent

+--dirstat-by-file[=limit]::
+ Same as --dirstat, but counts changed files instead of lines.
