Make git-commit only display --summary since addition/deletion
are notable events that do not happen with every commit.

BTW, Junio, why does git-commit need to display the diffstat?
You just made the commit ...

Don't ask me.  It was not my idea.

We only had --summary per popular list request, and it made
certain amount of sense since addition/deletion are notable
events that do not happen with _every_ commit.

So how about this?

Personally I quite like the shortstat ... and certainly is/will be more 
useful to me than having the commit subject - despite normally having more 
terminals lying around than is good for my sanity.

Can't we keep it? It's not like it takes up much space ...

What's it used for? Would it make more sense to have it show
up in the commit log editor, with the list of files being checked in?
