The \command{diffstat} command~\cite{web:diffstat} generates a
histogram of the modifications made to each file in a patch.  It
provides a good way to ``get a sense of'' a patch---which files it
affects, and how much change it introduces to each file and as a
whole.  (I find that it's a good idea to use \command{diffstat}'s
\cmdopt{-p} option as a matter of course, as otherwise it will try to
do clever things with prefixes of file names that inevitably confuse
at least me.)
