a cut-off percent (3% by default) are not shown. The cut-off percent
can be set with `--dirstat=<limit>`. Changes in a child directory are not
counted for the parent directory, unless `--cumulative` is used.
++
+Note that the `--dirstat` option computes the changes while ignoring
+the amount of pure code movements within a file. In other words,
+rearranging lines in a file is not counted as much as other changes.
--dirstat-by-file[=<limit>]::
Same as `--dirstat`, but counts changed files instead of lines.
digits can be specified with `--abbrev=<n>`.
-B[<n>][/<m>]::
+--break-rewrites[=[<n>][/<m>]]::
Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and
create. This serves two purposes:

another file.
-M[<n>]::
+--find-renames[=<n>]::
ifndef::git-log[]
Detect renames.
endif::git-log[]
For following files across renames while traversing history, see
`--follow`.

- If `n` is specified, it is a is a threshold on the similarity
+ If `n` is specified, it is a threshold on the similarity
index (i.e. amount of addition/deletions compared to the
file's size). For example, `-M90%` means git should consider a
delete/add pair to be a rename if more than 90% of the file
hasn't changed.
-C[<n>]::
+--find-copies[=<n>]::
Detect copies as well as renames. See also `--find-copies-harder`.
If `n` is specified, it has the same meaning as for `-M<n>`.

- type (i.e. regular file, symlink, submodule, ...) changed (`T`),
- are Unmerged (`U`), are

- Any combination of the filter characters (including none) can be used.

--find-copies-harder::
For performance reasons, by default, `-C` option finds copies only
if the original file of the copy was modified in the same
number.
