Here are a few quick fixes and features for git-jump. The first is a bug
I noticed and fixed recently. And that reminded me of the second one,
which I'd been carrying in my local copy for a long time.

  [1/3]: contrib/git-jump: fix greedy regex when matching hunks
  [2/3]: contrib/git-jump: add whitespace-checking mode
  [3/3]: contrib/git-jump: fix typo in README

```
The hunk-header regex looks for "\+\d+" to find the
post-image line numbers, but it skips the pre-image line
numbers with a simple ".*". That means we may greedily eat
the post-image numbers and match a "\+\d" further on, in the
funcname text.

For example, commit 6b9c38e has this hunk header:

  diff --git a/t/t0006-date.sh b/t/t0006-date.sh
  [...]
  @@ -50,8 +50,8 @@ check_show iso-local "$TIME" '2016-06-15 14:13:20 +0000'

If you run:

  git checkout 6b9c38e
  git jump diff HEAD^ t/

it will erroneously match "+0000" as the starting line
number and jump there, rather than line 50.

We can fix it by just making the "skip" regex non-greedy,
taking the first "+" we see, which should be the post-image
line information.

If you have whitespace errors in lines you've introduced, it
can be convenient to be able to jump directly to them for
fixing.  You can't quite use "git jump diff" for this,
because though it passes arbitrary options to "git diff", it
expects to see an actual unified diff in the output.

Whereas "git diff --check" actually produces lines that look
like compiler quickfix lines already, meaning we just need
to run it and feed the output directly to the editor.

Whoops. I updated the README, too, but forgot to actually commit it.
Here's an updated patch.

can be convenient to be able to jump directly to them for
fixing.  You can't quite use "git jump diff" for this,
because though it passes arbitrary options to "git diff", it
expects to see an actual unified diff in the output.

These 3 patches look good to me.

They also made me aware of git-jump's existence and purpose. I think I
shall use this script a lot myself from now on.

Thanks,

Yay, now there are at least 2 users.

Bug reports and patches very welcome. :)
