Nice. I set this when I found out about it a few months ago, and had kind of forgotten.. Diffs were just better at not showing new functions as being inserted inside the bottom of another function. Good improvement as a default.

Does anyone here have suggestions for git GUI? I used SourceTree for a few years, but a while back they started adding a bunch of tracking scripts, which I'm uncomfortable with. I can generally get by fine with the CLI, but whenever I need to do anything even slightly unfamiliar, I like being able to put on training wheels and have a GUI guide the way.

I think git would benefit from a type of "training wheels" config, where no action is destructive or irreversible. I've had a few close calls where I almost lost some code due to a git screw-up. Luckily, my local Time Machine backups have always saved my ass.

Heads up - Gitlab doesn't support this release, 9.5.0 should support it.

I shouldn't find this shocking, but so few feminine sounding names on the list of contributors. Bummer.
