In the screen below what does 30 ++++ means: alt text

+1  A: 

The pluses and minuses are an indication of how many lines were added versus removed.

So in this case it would seem only lines were added to the file.

So why two "++" instead of one "+". It reads as 30 lines were added (+). What does ++++++++++++ means?

The number of + and -, I believe, indicates roughly how many lines. Obviously it gets scaled down so that the largest change is a reasonable number of characters.

Because for the files with two pluses more lines were added than the files with one plus, for many pluses, many lines were added, it's just an indication.

The number of plus and minus signs are scaled to fit on your screen. So a commit with `++++++` is roughly twice as large as a commit with `+++`.

This is supposed to be a "histogram", and the pluses (or minuses) make the histogram bars. It's not *really* a histogram though, but it is sort of histogram-like.
