bug#61396: diff mode could distinguish changed from deleted lines

[Samuel Wales]

i do not understand your response.  where is this option?  what does
it do for diff-mode?  thanks.

i feel this thread is going all over the place without addressing the
op.  is the op difficult to understand?  i tried my best.
