This format could also avoid Unicode >if that's helpful. Avoiding _these_ Unicode characters would be helpful, yes. Headings would be very good, because then I could navigate by section, basically. I'm only seeing _exactly_ one line at once (like on a calculator). If you would i.e. insert #'s to indicate a new file, e.g.
### data.tar.gz (as a third indentation level), it could be beneficial. In this case, I could jump with a regex from diff to diff. I don't mind the indentation, it's fine, but if that's a good compromise for a copy-paste-format, then it's helpful, too :).
