diffstats can be huge though. I'd rather have those only with -v option.

But they are on by default for pull/merge, and disabled by -n.

And it is true that diffstat can be quite large.  I wouldn't mind the 
diffstat to be added to the commit message summary in the text editor 
though.  And displaying it when -v is used makes also a lot of sense.  
But not by default please.

OK, two votes against diffstats by default in commit.  Since I
haven't written a patch for it yet consider it dropped.  ;-)
