Extending this idea, I'd like to see some "3D" visualization of the file 
hierarchy and the partial hierarchy for the patch/diff being considered. 
That is: not just per-file diff views, but also per-project views. It'd 
also be nice to see this with more than one layer of diff at a time so 
you can get an idea about potential conflicts and what parts of the 
project are getting heavily changed.

I especially like the highlighting of what has changed within the line, 
rather than diff's usual answer of "durr, it's different".
