Thank you both for your very quick answers and recommendations! I will check your links. That sounds really interesting. I'm happy to hear that you don't find my suggestion entirely stupid. My use case is so specific that I wasn't sure it would be very relevant as a feature request.
I will probably take a look at the source code too. But to be very honest, my experience with C is quite limited. I have the basics, but I never practiced it in a real world project. So a codebase such as git's will be way more intimidating to me than sending a message to this mailing list. Building git from the sources would be a good start.
It would be an immense honor for me to invest some time to add a feature to git. But adding this mode to "git range-diff" is probably very ambitious and not very beginner-friendly. I will check the code and see how it goes. We never know!
If you have further recommendations to start this journey, I will be very happy to hear them, of course. Thank you again!
