`git diff' has a `--numstat' flag, but is there any way to *avoid* the
numstat?  (I'm using `--stat' but want to void the summary line, and
I'd like to avoid piping it to `head'.)

So, what DO you want?
[...]
where "summary line" is something like

5 files changed, 5974 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

An option that avoids that summary line.

Summary is "create mode ..." etc. and you can already enable/disable it.

Right -- I'm asking about the above numstat summary line, which seems
to always be included with `--stat'.

That "N files +M/-N lines in total" is _not_ a summary; it is an
integral part of ascii-graphical --stat output, which is supposed to
produce output like "git diff -p | diffstat".  We won't split it out
of --stat without a very good reason, there doesn't seem to be an
option to "diffstat" for such a thing, so...

Well, the reason is to have an easy-to-glance-over summary of changes
for push notification emails.  I didn't realize that the intention of
--stat was to be completely compatible with `diffstat'.
