I want to say something about the purpose of the patch, not some totally 
unimportant superficialities.

In your example, a three line change has more than three plusses, and I 
find that wrong.

But I would actually find another change very useful: still linear, but 
such that if lines were added, at least one plus should be shown, and 
likewise with minus. (Often I ask myself, was this file removed, or just 
dramatically reduced, when I only see minusses).

Ciao,
Dscho
