It's OK for me. Just one (documentation) note. I found, by means of a past qgit annotate bug ;-) in case of small files (1 line files as VERSION files) the diff header format is slightly different.

Sorry, I am not able to post now the diff output but I think should be not a problem to reproduce.

This is just, as said above, a note to avoid someone else falls in the same bug assuming

@ -1,87 -1,3 +1,93 @

is the only possible header format.

Regarding the rest is all OK for me. I choose to do not alter/coloring the patch as gitk does, but to always use red for removed lines and green for added and to keep the patch output _as is_ . I found this more simple and clear, at least for me.
