How about showing the size of the changes between the 2 files via the

I briefly considered this, too. But what would it tell you in the case of
a jpg? I think it has more disadvantages than advantages...
Ciao,

It would still tell you the extent of the changes. i.e. Did we change
only 10 bytes of the file, or is it a dramatic change?
This is exactly what the text statistics show. +(new lines + modified
lines) -(deleted lines + modified lines)
Instead of having a "line-based" record size, simply use individual
bytes, since binary files don't have lines (most of them, anyway!).
