I beg to differ on the "intrusive": except for needed structs and functions, which are totally orthogonal with the rest of git, it only touches fn_out_consume(), builtin_diff() and in an obvious way, diff_opt_parse() and struct diff_options. So the real impact is pretty low and well contained. Besides, I really use it often -- you should try it! Call me blind, but very often I cannot spot the differences (in the unified diff) when they are minor, especially when there was just a typo in the documentation. You could now say that I should not care about it, then, but if _I_ made the mistake, I want to learn from it. Of course, if you really hate what it does, I will happily carry it in my personal repository; I _need_ it.
