I agree with Terry that this would be a useful feature to have integrated with the tracker. I'd use it. But until someone write it, it's an academic point.

I don't say it is useless. It is just not useful enough to justify the required development effort. A low hanging fruit in this area would be to teach the tracker to recognize diffs regardless of file extension and present them as text/plain. For me that would give 99% of the benefit a full-blown diff-to-html converter may bring.
