What version are you running? 1.5.3

What's the URL of the page this enhancement relates to, if any?
   any diff pages

Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
I think the "moved to/from" tags are too distracting for the information
they provide. See attached png for a suggested improvement.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Mac Firefox 3.6.13

Please provide any additional information below.
I recommend applying Tufte's principle of 'smallest effective difference' (http://magpub.com/the-smallest-effective-difference/).
A bit of subtlety in color choice and lozenge shape would make the overall experience more effective.

Perhaps. The design as it currently is came from the original contribution, but I'm not married to it.
