[PATCH 3/3] diff --stat: sometimes use non-linear scaling.

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:42
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

When some files have big changes and others are touched only
slightly, diffstat graph did not show differences among smaller
changes that well.  This changes the graph scaling to non-linear
algorithm in such a case.

Without this, "git show --stat fd88d9c" gives:

while with this, it shows:

 * Jan Engelhardt wondered about doing non-linear scaling on the
   kernel list and this is an experimental patch to do so.  I do
   not seriously consider this for inclusion but it is more of a
   "see if people like it" patch.
