Description

It'd be nice to show simple summary stats at the top of a diff in order to get a quick glance at how large a diff is:

  • number of files added/removed/changed
  • number of lines added/removed/changed

Something like what Github does:

pasted_file (42×444 px, 8 KB)

This feature request doesn't describe a root problem. See Describing Root Problems and Contributing Feature Requests for help filing a feature request which we'll consider.

In particular, "other software has a feature" isn't a good motivation on its own, per Describing Root Problems, which lists this as a counterexample for filing requests:

I've used some other software that has a cool feature. Phabricator should have that feature too.

The remaining description is too vague and doesn't allow us to understand or generalize about the problem.

Feel free to file a new request with more information. If you do, you may want to read the discussion in D16322 first.

For anyone who doesn't want to wait for this to be implemented, here's a Tampermonkey script to do it: https://gist.github.com/lyahdav/30fabcfb2856a28d320114922c91a1e3
