Hi,
The question is pretty much in the title: using the built-in git support, is there a way to do diff hunks using --word-diff instead of just the regular diff? I think this would be very helpful for people using sublime for writing—I usually have long, wrapped, one-line paragraphs and it isn’t easy to figure out what exactly has changed from a regular diff.
The diff algorithm used for this (wether the file is in git or not, as it also works with just normal files) is not currently configurable, no.
I’d suggest creating a feature request on github (if there isn’t already one): https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_merge/issues
In fact, I just made a new issue as I stumbled across this again, too.
Feel free to vote/comment.
