…ace changes * This causes some more cases of changes in (added/removed) empty lines to be ignored (but apparently not when there also other unignored changes in the same file). * Still, it's a useful addition wherever it applies, since it helps in quickly skipping over files that have only empty-line changes. * Related to discussion in PR sourcegit-scm#2411. * Also renamed argument 'unified' to 'numContextLines', for clarity.

@love-linger NOTE: This PR incurs a very minor change, and I see no adverse effects of adding the additional Git flag |
