I like this a lot.

After this patch, the diff pane looks like this:

( ) Diff ( ) Old version ( ) New version   Lines of context: [3 +/-] \
	[ ] Ignore space changes  [ Line diff      v]

all on one line.  In particular, it is easy not to notice the
new dropdown.

One might be tempted to change the Elide added lines/Elide removed
lines radio buttons into a dropdown box, but that would remove the
neat-o ability to switch between "before" and "after" views with a
single click.  Oh well --- screens are getting bigger, anyway.
