gitwdiff

Better word-diff for Git and SVN.

Usage

Add everything to your $PATH. Make sure you have wdiff installed.

Use gitwdiff ... instead of git diff ....

Use svnwdiff ... instead of svn diff ....

For the best results, copy the settings from gitconfig-example to
your ~/.gitconfig. After that:

• Long lines are wrapped in the output
  (no horizontal scrolling in the pager).

• The usual Git commands such as git diff, git show, and
  git status will use colours that are similar to the colour
  scheme of gitwdiff.

Git uses a pager by default. With SVN, you can try this:

svnwdiff ... | less -R
