We're going to start by removing the description diffs - they can get
potentially huge and should be collapsible, but that's a bugger to get
working at the moment without breaking the formatting.

The problem you describe with the unchanged lines is quite easy to
solve and can be done easily. The identification of changed lines will
be fixed in 2.2.4 as part of the "make it really awesome" work for
interleaved changes.

Would help if I tagged this properly too, I suppose...

Marking this triaged again; we've not yet decided on the best way to do this.
