That's one of my primary uses for git-jump, too. But you can already do
that by jumping to the diff of HEAD^. Which has the additional advantage
that it's a diff against the working tree. So if you did a partial
commit, the diff will include any leftover changes.

So I'm not opposed to this patch per se, given that it's not very many
lines. But I'm not sure I see much advantage over "git jump diff HEAD^".
It's slightly less typing, but I already alias "git jump diff" since
it's so long.

This can also be done with "git jump diff $commit^ $commit". However,
I've found that jumping based on older diffs is mostly useless, because
the line numbers at $commit and those in the working tree don't always
match up (and inherently you're always jumping in the working tree
copy).
