[Debconf-devel] Bug#189026: side-by-side diffs are unreadable

[Dima Kogan]

Hi.

The current behavior of splitting diffs into whitespace-separated tokens
completely obliterates readability of side-by-side diffs. Can we do
something about that?

I'm attaching a patch to handle this case specifically. This isn't very
nice, but it proves the concept.

To make side-by-side diffs look right, ucf needed to be patched also:

  http://bugs.debian.org/862607

With these two patches, these diffs are rendered properly. Should be do
this better in some way?
