That would be quite hard to enforce, since it's not obvious just from
looking at (e.g., diffing) two files which lines were actually deleted
by the user. Diff doesn't show that; it tries to show the minimum set of
differences between two files.

In other words, you'd have to invent a much smarter algorithm with a set
of heuristics tailored for your specific editing rules.
