Don't know how best to do this on the UI level, simplest would be (1) to do this only on with <Ctrl+Shift>, but this has its problems, notably lack of visibility. One could add a global option (2) (in the Diff viewer page) adding a "none" or "ignore" radio button. Finally, one could add a checkbox to the log dialog (3) ("Ignore property diffs") - but that would take extra screen real-estate and I'm not sure this is an option I want to see everytime I see the log dialog. Personally, I think (2) is the best option.

Can you please create an issue for this in the issue tracker?
