It sounds great, but TBH I'm a little disappointed with it: Without 
horizontal scrolling, it's still a huge step backwards from a dedicated 
native diff program like Beyond Compare and such. At least they're 
improving though. Although a native, no-HTML version of github would let 
them leapfrog years in R&D over their web interface, but oh well.
