Oh, don't get me wrong. It's just that I agree with Jakub that a better final destination for it is CTAN next to latexdiff, not in git.git/contrib/, and when we last did something similar for emacs vc mode support, the copy I carried ended up becoming way stale than its final destination, and we had to remove our copy in order to reduce confusion. I just do not want to make the same mistake here. I didn't intend to discourage discusson of your application here. Carry on the discussion in a forum where you think the most people with appropriate skills and interests hang out, and if that forum is this list, that is perfectly fine. Host a development repository at GitHub, Gitorious or somesuch, if it would help people stay in sync with the current status to have a public repository. I just do not think my tree is a good place to use as a "while we are developing" staging area.
