Bram said context diffs should be used because some users may be unable to use them. I say context diffs are hard to read. Hence you see two diffs here: one created with “hg export”, one with “hg extdiff” (well, really a custom command). If you like some other diff (even side-by-side), you can clone/pull from my vim repository: https://bitbucket.org/ZyX_I/vim. I find this way of distributing patches much more convenient then any kind of diffs send by anybody here.
