--patience::
Generate a diff using the "patience diff" algorithm.
+--histogram::
+ Generate a diff using the "histogram diff" algorithm.
+
--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>`.

+ of the graph part can be limited by using
+ `--stat-graph-width=<width>` (affects all commands generating
+ 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.
