I hadn't thought to look at that. That's interesting. I suspect
I'm going to just do the diff stuff similarly to Mundo (as
suggested by Christian) or Gundo because I need an exact list of
lines that were added or changed, but want to skip any that were
deleted.
[...]
Basically, I can't check the entire file after every save. I need to
have some way of restricting the diff regions.
1) Vim can diff contents of buffers that are not associated with
physical files. On detecting a save, from the change list get the lines
of interest in the previous and current version; then appendingly-yank
the regions of interest in the current buffer and likewise
appendingly-yank the corresponding regions in the saved file; and then
open a new buffer that compares the yanked stuff. (I don't mean do these
steps manually, but via a script.)
2) I came late to this thread and do not know if comparing an entire
file but restricting the display via folds meets your needs. If so, one
could detect a save command and write a script that opens a new buffer
that visually compares the previous and current versions with unchanged
regions folded and the ability to jump to changes via ]c and [c.
