How to remove blank line diff?

[AndrejMitrovic]

Is it possible to remove these big green blocks? I think they're showing blank lines.

Might be related to #170.

Could you share an example pair of files that gives this effect, and say what you'd like to see instead?

[AndrejMitrovic]

Sure!

For example, test1.cpp:

void main ()
{
    int x;
    int y;
}

test2.cpp:

void main ()
{
    int x;
    int y;
}

void foo ()
{

}

Produces:

I don't need the blank lines to be highlighted with the green rectangles. It's distracting from the rest of the diff. Is there a way to disable highlighting whitespace changes, or just blank line changes?

Any fix related to this? I'm wondering...

[jeffkaufman]

I think this should be fixed with 9dbfbb9 and a new --show-no-spaces argument. If this looks good, I can make this behavior the default?

Ah, sorry. I thought this was an open forum. I wasn't sure if there was a way to do this in Github in general.
