Here are patches to ignore context-only changes in range-diff's output. I'm not completely happy with the changes, they feel a bit too hacky. Maybe someone has better ideas. This still gives output like this one, that could be improved in future 1: 7a3dac8 ! 1: 119bc78 Change @@ some-other-file 7 8 9 - Old context line + New context line -## file ## +## file => renamed-file ## @@ 1 -2 I think it should be 1: 7a3dac8 ! 1: 119bc78 Change -## file ## +## file => renamed-file ## @@ 1 -2 I'm not sure if this is a feasible improvement. "## <filename> ##" normally is a diff section header (hence the "@@ some-other-file" hunk above) but here the section header itself is changed..
