# FIXME:
# - should only exclude hunk headers differing only in line offsets
# - diff coloring should show changes in context lines differently than
#   changes in contents
# - filter on ^index lines is a bit wide
# - we should be able to ask diff to force a new hunk on "^@@ " to better
#   handle them
# - we should always show the hunk header for any changes within a hunk

# default to unified diff
