Yup. It’s the highlighting that annoys me. It over emphasizes the whitespace
change IMHO which makes it harder see the actual code changes.

AFAICT it does exactly what you ask. I’m not sure if it’s new in Xcode 7, but it certainly looks like a case of “ask, and ye shall have already received”.
Not quite. It hides some leading whitespace on lines that otherwise had no
changes. I want an option to hide all whitespace differences or at least
use a different (lighter) highlight color for those differences.
