Here is a lunch-time hack to add that option. As you can see from the lack of docs, tests and a proper log message, I haven't played with it long enough to know how buggy it is, though. I am not all that interested in polishing it to completion myself and prefer to leave it as #leftoverbits ;-)

Also I didn't bother teaching this to Stefan's color-moved thing, as the line comparator it uses will hopefully be unified with the one I am touching in xdiff/ with this patch.

Have fun.
