GitLab can easily add WebUI that says "You can define what diff algorithm is used for files with which suffix" to allow you to configure a table like this: json | histogram c | patience * | myers and populate the server-side equivalent of .git/info/attributes and .git/config based on that, and without anything further than the posted patches, the result should just work, no?
