The defaults can be overridden on the command line + (using `--dirstat=<param1,param2,...>`). The fallback defaults + (when not changed by `diff.dirstat`) are `changes,noncumulative,3`. + The following parameters are available: ++ +-- +`changes`;; + Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the lines that have been + removed from the source, or added to the destination. This ignores + 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. + This is the default behavior when no parameter is given. +`lines`;; + Compute the dirstat numbers by doing the regular line-based diff + analysis, and summing the removed/added line counts. (For binary + files, count 64-byte chunks instead, since binary files have no + natural concept of lines). This is a more expensive `--dirstat` + behavior than the `changes` behavior, but it does count rearranged + lines within a file as much as other changes. The resulting output + is consistent with what you get from the other `--*stat` options. +`files`;; + Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the number of files changed. + Each changed file counts equally in the dirstat analysis. This is + the computationally cheapest `--dirstat` behavior, since it does + not have to look at the file contents at all. +`cumulative`;; + Count changes in a child directory for the parent directory as well. + Note that when using `cumulative`, the sum of the percentages + reported may exceed 100%. The default (non-cumulative) behavior can + be specified with the `noncumulative` parameter. +<limit>;; + An integer parameter specifies a cut-off percent (3% by default). + Directories contributing less than this percentage of the changes + are not shown in the output. +-- ++ +Example: The following will count changed files, while ignoring +directories with less than 10% of the total amount of changed files, +and accumulating child directory counts in the parent directories: +`files,10,cumulative`. + diff.external:: If this config variable is set, diff generation is not performed using the internal diff machinery, but using the
