diffstat: make --git work properly on renames (issue6025)
ClosedPublic

Summary

$ hg diff --stat --git shows only the new filename on renames.
I added the old filename also to the output to make it identical
with the output of $ git diff --stat.

Nice.

One nit: better to not use .split() since a filename may include whitespace.

Nice catch! I will send a follow-up on this.

This is unfortunately not working with hglib. hglib seems to be splitting data on '>' or only reading data after that.

@yuja do you have any idea what can cause that?

@pulkit Can you add a possible test case? I would like to work on this.

By the way, Yuya has replied to this over mail and changes didn't get reflected in phab. Yuya says:

Which hglib function?

I never thought hglib would parse diffstat output. I don't think it's parsable
(i.e. BC-guaranteed) format.
