Feature request: Stats in git log

Hi, Long time lurker sending my first mail to the list. I hope I'm doing this right. I'm interested in getting the stats that are shown with `git log --shortstat` based on the format string provided with the `--pretty` flag. Example:
git log --oneline --pretty=format:%ad,%H --date=iso --shortstat
This returns something like:
2021-01-07 09:56:48 +0100,<SHA>
58 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-)
I will now have to parse the input for my purposes of reporting it in a CSV file. I wonder if (A) it's possible to specify this already with e.g.
git log --oneline
--pretty=format:%ad,%H,<changedflag>,<insertedflag>,<deletedflag>
--date=iso
where the result for the same commit would become:
2021-01-07 09:56:48 +0100,<SHA>,58,21,50
I'm aware that commits sometimes don't have stats. In that case, I would expect e.g. `NaN` or `null` instead of a number. (B) If this is not available, is there any interest in a PR providing it? Best, Steinar
