I wonder if this tool seemingly everyone on-list uses should just be
integrated into git.git.

I only learned about it <2 weeks ago and it's been great. The diff
output was a bit nonsensical in some cases because it uses python's
diff engine instead of git's.

Would you mind patches to just integrate it to git in python as-is,
then we could slowly convert it to C as we're doing with everything
else.
