Package: colordiff
Version: 1.0.7-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I've just read [1], and I found myself bouncing, no need to spawn
$EDITOR anymore, to just look at the wdiff-like output of debdiff.
Unfortunately, although it works fine for simple wdiff tests, it turns
out that piping debdiff output (like debdiff foo_bar-1_arch.changes
foo_bar-2_arch.changes) into colordiff only results in the following
items being coloured in red:
 - lines containing only dashes;
 - files that are in one of the .changes and not in the other one.

 1. http://debaday.debian.net/2008/01/09/colordiff-put-some-color-in-your-diffs/

Apparently, it gets confused by the lines containing only dashes.

It would be very nice for colordiff to:
 - support debdiff output out of the box, OR
 - support debdiff output when an option is passed, OR
 - support an option to force the diff mode to be wdiff, which should do
   the job AFAICT.

Thanks for considering.

Cheers,
