Currently, it's not possible to use the space-ignoring options (-b, -w, --ignore-space-at-eol) with combined diff. It makes it pretty impossible to read a merge between a branch that changed all tabs to spaces, and a branch with functional changes.

Pass diff flags to diff engine, so that combined diff behaves as normal diff does with spaces. Also coalesce lines that are removed from both (or more) parents.

It also means that a conflict-less merge done using a ignore-* strategy option will not show any conflict if shown in combined-diff using the same option.
