I see exactly which classes and methods were touched with little effort.

I know that I need the git sources to properly find bugs that were introduced by some faulty version. And usually I control each changes made to classes I maintain, which is very easy to do for me when looking at the changes mail sent from github since I see the touched methods on classes. A full diff, like what is done for VM-maker, is a bit too much for me, especially when it comes in pure text form (compared to for instance what I see on github?)
