+--dirstat[=limit]::
+ Output only the sub-directories that are impacted by a diff,
+ and to what degree they are impacted. You can override the
+ default cut-off in percent (3) by "--dirstat=limit". If you
+ want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use
+ the "--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively
+ even when they have been already reported for a sub-directory.

--summary::
Output a condensed summary of extended header information
such as creations, renames and mode changes.
