Sorry, I mispoke. I think we need line ranges and operation types.
Like, "insert 5 lines at line 14", "remove lines 21-37", etc. The
point being, we don't actually need to know the contents of the lines.
Now, I say that assuming we want to keep svndiff as our primary delta
storage format. But I'm open to considering a system that stores
svndiff for some files and contextual diffs for others.
