I just started to wonder if we couldn't use output from Jeff's
diff-highlight for gitweb. We could tech diff-highlight to produce diffs
marked with -{} and +{} (this is the notation used by Jeff in one of his
recent patches) or something like this and then just convert that into
HTML markup. Changes in gitweb would be minimal, we would reduce
redundancy and could focus on improving matching algorithm in one place.
