Oh, don't get me wrong.

It's just that I agree with Jakub that a better final destination for it
is CTAN next to latexdiff, not in git.git/contrib/, and when we last did
something similar for emacs vc mode support, the copy I carried ended up
becoming way stale than its final destination, and we had to remove our
copy in order to reduce confusion. I just do not want to make the same
mistake here.

I didn't intend to discourage discusson of your application here.

Carry on the discussion in a forum where you think the most people with
appropriate skills and interests hang out, and if that forum is this list,
that is perfectly fine. Host a development repository at GitHub, Gitorious
or somesuch, if it would help people stay in sync with the current status
to have a public repository.

I just do not think my tree is a good place to use as a "while we are
developing" staging area.
