Well, log for the current file would be useful too, and easier.


But what I really fancy is an integrated "git diff" => where the 
SourceEditor/SynEdit shows chages inline.

Could be different detail levels

- just line markers /like the current changed/save marker (yellow/green)

- diff show at bottom (like winmerge)

- maybe side by side split editor (though external tools to that well)

- inline markup, like MS-word capturing changes: red/strikethrough for 
stuff deleted by current diff, green for stuff added.

This could work, as you type.


It would work without gif, against the saved file, or a backup.

With git, against HEAD or index (or both / 3 color)
