I rely on diff to see what is different between two versions, and not
necessarily
consecutive versions. It is an immensely effective technique for
finding where
something became broken.
Diffs like that which John proposes add noise, dramatically increasing
the effort
required to see real changes. Did he simply change indent or did he
also change
text? I can't tell at a glance.
I request that his diff be rejected.
