It should be added automatically to the diffstat if you create the 
diffstat with

	git diff -C --stat --summary linus...release

(that triple dot creates the diff from the last common point - the 
so-called merge-base - and it generally does the right thing unless you've 
merged things from me)

I thought you already generated the diffstat with "git diff --stat", and 
if so, just adding "--summary" should do it.

That does a list of what files changed modes, and what files were created, 
deleted, moved or copied. So for the commit in question, we 
get

	[torvalds@woody linux]$ git show -C --stat --summary ff08e657f3e7224d090dd816e00cea2c110575c4

but it works with the other diff generation tools too (ie doing 
something like "git log -C --stat --summary" will do the obvious thing)
