Description Martin Meyer 2015-02-17 16:52:53 UTC
Most git viewers (including the pre-rewrite of gitg) list all affected files for a commit in a summary at the top of the patch view. Although I think the new version is better in pretty much every way, this omission is causing me some headaches.

I often need to search through my history to try to find patches that caused a bug. I usually know which file would have been affected, but not which commit it might have happened in. Now I have to scroll all over the patch trying to see if the file in question has been modified or not. I'm finding myself going back to the console and using "git log -- <file>" pretty often now.

Can we get the diffstat summary back in a future release, please?

This problem has been fixed in the unstable development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain that newer version.
