Research direction
Start by reviewing Rugged's diff API and the underlying libgit2 diff capabilities, then compare them with the formats produced by git diff --word-diff and git diff --color. The issue names no file or test, so first identify the relevant diff entry points and existing output tests; done means a documented, tested way to request the desired format.
