Having looked at it more, I find that the output with the switch is
usually the same as without; but when they differ, I always have
preferred the version with it on.  Attached is the diff which caused
me to see if there was a way to make the diff output smarter, and
the result of adding the --patience flag.
 
This is the unified form that git puts out by default, but the
benefit is there after filterdiff --format=context, too.
