Commit summary:

included invisible tags over diffs so that diff can be parsed easier using some 
scripts which use html output to get it

Comment:

I personally see it as pointless: you can easily do <tt>$( '.diff' 
).foo()</tt>, but how are you going to do it with HTML comments? The only thing 
this can make easier is screen-scraping by third-party tools which we actively 
discourage anyway.
