But I'm not a C programmer, I was just trying to spot the correctness of a few name additions in lines of comma separated ids of 100 names or something like that. The patch I sent is not perfect, but achieved 80% of what I wanted with 10 minutes of effort (including build, test and sending the patch). On the other hand, while --color-words is very useful for text or detecting typos, with big text changes it sometimes gives worse results than --color, see for instance, on the git repo, the second hunk of git diff --stat -p --color-words f59774add488a6c5fb440a4aaa7255f594b1027d^ -- builtin-fetch.c (and just --color) Not sure how to fix it, or, ideally, having some automated way to switch between line-oriented coloring and word-oriented coloring depending of density of changes. > > It is so good an idea.
