Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.

Current diff viewer doesn't support git file renames or moves. Those are
created with "git diff -M" and look like this:

diff --git a/README b/README.moved
similarity index 100%
rename from README
rename to README.moved

Supporting this would als remove giant delete/insert chunks in the viewer.
