Not really.

Our underlying diff routine is not whitespace insensitive. So we strip
all the whitespace to be ignored from text, diff it, then add it back
in. This mostly works, but if we have substantive changes mixed with
whitespace changes, the whitespace ones will appear in the hunks.

In other words, the code's not quite clever enough.
