Yes, I do. Not because of the extra lines, but because of the inconsistent 
interface.

We included libxdiff _exactly_ to ensure consistency between different git 
installations (remember, diff behaves quite differently on different 
platforms, and even GNU diff behaves differently depending on which 
version you use).

So no, I do not like the idea of using git on some random box, only to 
realize that what I have grown used to does not work.

Ciao,
