Description

Thank you for this awesome plugin. I was wondering if it is possible to have some addition highlight to show the actual changes with bright color and hence have separate highlighter if possible. ( I have no clue whether its even possible). Below is the example shows the change I am requesting for

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing Neogit's diff view and existing highlighting configuration, then compare the requested actual-change highlighting with the attached Neogit and Magit examples; done means the diff distinguishes actual changes with a separate bright highlight.
