By default, "git merge" and "git pull" shows "git diff --stat @{1}"
to show the extent of the changes.  While it gives a good overview,
one thing that is missing in this output is which paths are created
and/or deleted.

With these two patches, these commands learn "--compact-summary"
command line option and a new value "compact" for the existing
merge.stat configuration variable, to change that final output to
use "git diff --compact-summary @{1}" instead.

I sent this out with random fix-ups in separate threads but never
made a formal patch series.  Here are the earlier messages:

  merge/pull: --compact-summary
  merge/pull: extend merge.stat configuration variable to cover
    --compact-summary
