report commit statistics in log-window

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would suggest to report commit statistics for each commit in log-window.

For me it would be useful to see the size of commits to identify large ones.

Other useful information could be

2.) number of files (new)
3.) number of files (mod)
4.) number of files (del)

What is the size of commit? the total number of changed files?

Perhaps the following are some WORKAROUND:

1. for "total number of changed files"
   open "View Patch" dialog to see it.
   will show you " N files changed, X insertions(+), Y deletions(-)"

2. for your 2.) ~ 4.)
   click one commit, 
   sort files by "Status", 
   select all Added/Modified/Deleted files,
   will show you "Showing ... , N file(s) selected"
   (yap, too many steps. I know. :P )

I'm dealing with a lot of binary data (office documents) (6-30mb). Little 
changes often/and sometimes don't results in small commits. The dialog 
ViewPatch only shows the size before and after the commit. This is not 
equivalent with the commit size.

I would also often appreciate a quick visual clue of which of the commits are 
actually "large" (lots of modifications in them). Visually, I think it could be 
a column in the log view containing something like the Excel sparklines 
(https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Use-sparklines-to-show-data-trends-147
4e169-008c-4783-926b-5c60e620f5ca#__toc266180807) - basically a simple, 
miniature bar chart expressing how "big" the commit is.
