 Viewing a revision of a post which has a lot of content in it can result
 in a very long screen. It would be great if there was a toggle somewhere
 on the revisions browser so a condensed diff view was shown.

 The condensed view would more closely resemble a traditional VCS diff
 view, which highlights only the changed lines and a handful of lines above
 and below each change.

 I haven't checked to see if the `Text_Diff` library that core uses
 supports such diff generation, I doubt it does but I'd like to be wrong.
