Of course, git's diffstats often already violate that property (e.g.,
abbreviations and the renaming syntax)... In cases where such a
grouping syntax avoids information-losing abbreviations, it might even
be an improvement over the current situation (even if the info was
split up, at least it would be there).
If the heuristics were tuned so that the syntax only kicked in for
cases where deep nesting or long names would otherwise make
abbreviations likely, maybe it would be a general improvement.
However, it does seem like the additional inconsistency of
presentation might make diffstats harder to read or more ugly in some
cases...
