Today I learnt about --ignore-rev with git-blame. Super handy if git thinks moving some code made you the author.
$ git blame --ignore-rev abcdef source_file
(Turned out I was still the author, but several years earlier!)

I've just released difftastic 0.53! In this release:
* SCSS support
* Better directory diffing: .gitignore is respected and output is (optionally) sorted by filename
* Better support for Windows files (you can ignore carriage returns entirely)
I've released difftastic 0.42! In this release:
* Faster textual diffing (over 10x if files have few lines in common!)
* There's now a syntactic diffing option --ignore-comments, for when you only want to see code changes
Today I learnt that Emacs will do a best-effort parse of expressions in comments too, unless you set parse-sexp-ignore-comments.
