--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Docdiff currently reports all changes in a file, including whitespace changes.
This crouds out important changes.  For example, if you add one word to a
paragraph, rejustifying the document could mean the entire paragraph gets
flagged as being changed.

This patch

   http://www.econ.upenn.edu/~clausen/computing/docdiff-patch

makes docdiff ignore whitespace changes.  This second patch

  http://www.econ.upenn.edu/~clausen/computing/docdiff-wordwrap-patch

makes this change optional through a new --wordwrap option, which is the
new default.  (The old behaviour can be accessed with --word.  I think it makes
sense to leave the old behaviour as an option for people who don't word-wrap
their text documents.  These people would suffer much less whitespace change
pollution.)
