this is very cool, but I believe this bit of the README is incorrect:
Text-based diff tools such as git diff, when applied to a code base, have certain limitations. First, they can only detect insertions and deletions, not movements or updates of individual pieces of code.
git diff can detect movements. looking at my .gitconfig, I think it's the "frag = magenta" line.
