           Summary: Improve user interface of visual diffs
          Severity: feature
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows
          Reporter: cowwoc at bbs.darktech.org
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 3.1
         Component: hgweb
           Product: Mercurial

Please improve the readability of hgweb's diffs.

hgweb provides a textual diff with minimal text-foreground highlighting.

Github's UI is generally better looking but specifically it highlights changed
lines using background colors (which is easier to read.

Fisheye goes a step further with side-by-side diffs, and highlights changes on
a per-character basis instead on a per-character basis.
