git diff is missing an ignore option, like `diff -I`, which would be especially useful for translation files (.po) to check changed contents and not updated line numbers:

#: sourcefile.c:/123/ msgid "id" msgstr "*changed text*"

"changed text" is important to be checked, "123" is distracting

Kind regards Thomas
