Language aware diffs remove noise from diffs by hiding irrelevant changes, but where do you draw the line between relevant and irrelevant changes?

      git diff -w only ignores whitespace within a line (e.g. changing indentation). It doesn’t ignore adding or removing new lines.

      But even if it did, wrapping a function call or a long string can introduce extra commas or quotes.
