Is there a a side-by-side diff viewer for gitweb?

If not, any suggestions for the best way to go about implementing one?

Thanks,
ER

No, it is for a long time on TODO list for gitweb, but it never got
implemented.

Take a look at other web interfaces in Perl, and find how they do it
(IIRC Codestriker web review tool is in Perl, and has side-by-side
diffs).  Ask on #perl.  Ask on perlmongers.  Search CPAN[1].

[1] Note that we frown upon introducing extra dependencies for gitweb,
unless they are optional, and best detected automatically.

Here's something that could help:

http://svn.tools.ietf.org/tools/rfcdiff/

I don't like their colors, but that should be easy to change.
