[PATCH 2/2] add--interactive: detect bogus diffFilter output

It's important that the diff-filter only filter the individual lines, and that there remain a one-to-one mapping between the input and output lines. Otherwise, things like hunk-splitting will behave quite unexpectedly (e.g., you think you are splitting at one point, but it has a different effect in the text patch we apply).

We can't detect all problematic cases, but we can at least catch the obvious case where we don't even have the correct number of lines.
