Dear git people,
I've created a diff algorithm that focuses on creating readable diffs,
see https://github.com/pierstitus/klondiff

The git integration as an external diff command works quite well,
though it would be nice to integrate it deeper in git, and also in
git-gui and gitk. Any way to use ext-diff from the gui tools?

Is there interest to incorporate this algorithm in the main git
codebase? And if so, any hints on how to proceed?
