Yeah, I did. In fact, at work I have a hacked version of your
diff-highlight that supports multiline changes and I use it every day.
But I just couldn't make myself fix your long README and send a
patch :).
Maybe I'll cook something in my spare time.

I must say that it works great for me. Most often it's very helping.
Like every heuristics it sometimes goes the wrong way, but it's so rare
that I don't find it disturbing.

Nope. Except for comparing diffs in various commits in gitweb-1.7.9 and
from my branch, I just created a dummy commit with different kinds of
changes to check if they are properly colorized.
