Sometimes it is useful to see the number of changes in each file so it is easier to recognize when some unwanted changes are there. Adding extra column to diff view can help with this.
that information is shown in the diff view between the left and right files title - e.g. 1/6 (read change 1 of total 6). Wouldn't that be enough? also please note that to provide it in the table would mean that we had to process all revisions for their amount of differences resulting into a drastic performance impact.
That shows it only for selected file. I would like to see that information for all files in the table. This is not something that is hard to achieve. You can do that in a background process or you can fill it while user is looking through files. On the other hand, functionality that I'm looking for is similar to what you have in TortoiseHg Visual Commit - there is a checkbox in front of each file - and you can review the files for commit one by one and select necessary ones.

In case this isn't what you are asking for please be so kind and honor the "one problem - one issue rule" (http://wiki.netbeans.org/IssuezillaRules) and file a separate issue.
