   4 `diff-hl-mode` highlights uncommitted changes on the left fringe of the buffer
   5 window, allows you to jump between them, and revert them selectively.

  17 =====

  19 * Since it uses the corresponding VC diff command, it's only accurate when the
  20   buffer is in saved state. Highlighting changes "on the fly" might be better,
  21   maybe we can do something similar to `highlight-markup-buffers` with a hidden
  22   buffer containing the unmodified copy.
  23
  24 * Out of modes providing similar functionality, `highlight-changes-mode` is the
  25   closest I could find. Angry Fruit Salad aside, it may be fine for writing
  26   prose, but think it's pretty much useless for version-controlled files.
