The git stat subcommand (or git log --stat etc.) shows us the numbers of lines added and removed. This is obviously useful, but - sometimes you don't care about whitespace and comment additions and removals.
Is it possible to get git to compute its addition and removal statistics - for display purposes only naturally - other than as lines removed and added? e.g. perhaps run something like cloc on the relevant files?
You would not be able to use native Git commands.
Only a third-party could have that kind of additional feature, like
clocyou mention.It was used here, with two checkouts (one for each commits).
