FA-75539 / Text diff and three-way merge / Member archive
Diffstat histogram: zero insertions are still reported · case 04
A deletion-only change says "0 insertions(+)".
Case contract
Files are [path, added, removed], with None counts for binary files. Each text file prints "path | total +++---"; when the largest total exceeds width, both counts scale by width/max with floor, but a non-zero count keeps at least one mark. Binary files print "path | Bin". The summary counts files and, when non-zero, insertions and deletions with singular/plural wording.
Why this case matters
Diffstat output is how reviewers size a change; scaling and pluralization rules are easy to get subtly wrong.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| only deletions | ["gone | 8 --------", "1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)"] | ["gone | 8 --------", "1 file changed, 8 deletions(-)"] | Failed |
