Suppose you have
	   X
	]
and you change this to
	   X,
	   Y
	]
The *number* of diffs does not change, there is only an extra line in  
the diff.
I actually find it useful that this extra line appears, because it  
gives me a
wee bit of context: Y didn't just appear somewhere, it appeared after X.

The converse change has the same property: the *number* of diffs  
doesn't change,
it's just that one extra line appears, and I find that extra line  
helpful.

YMMV.
