David: I believe one of my coworkers emailed you several months back
about git support.  Last week he came and asked me to look at adding
it, and I took a stab at it.  I believe that diff retrieval, diff
parsing, and retrieval for parallel view work.  This is the first Perl
I've written, and I'd still consider it more of a rough draft, so I'm
sure there's plenty of room for improvement.  I've attached a patch
(relative to v1.9.9) for what I've done so far, hoping for some
feedback!

In particular, I'm wondering about git diff's support for copy and
rename detection.  It'd be nice for a copy or rename to show up as
such in the filename list, and not unnecessarily show a diff
containing the entire contents of the file.  This information is
printed in the header of the patch, so it's very easy for the parser
to detect (don't know about other differs; have never used CVS/SVN). I
don't see any support for this anywhere else in the diff parsers, and
it doesn't look like the code's quite set up to handle it. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jeffrey
