Show spaceman-diff as a comment in a pull request

Im going to try to get this working.
If colors are not achievable I will try to send the comment in black and white.

Simular to how codecov is executed by travis-ci and submits a comment on a pr.

example:

svn export https://github.com/MichaelDimmitt/spacediffs-for-apple-natgeo-images-/trunk/spacediff.md; 
cat spacediff.md;

In my example I made an md file. It could have any extension.
But spaceman-diff could write these files to a hidden folder called .spaceman-diffs
and then in a travis.ci or circle.ci when a pr occurs, a program could look for that folder cat the result and submit a comment to github or gitlab.

What do you think? Im okay with others working on this.
I will see how far I can get and hopefully I do not get stuck.

Yeah, that sounds pretty cool! It's not something I'd personally use too much, I think, since you have the actual image diff not too far away in this pull, but happy to help out somehow if I can!

[MichaelDimmitt]

@holman, I got the diff working for a git project!
I stripped the colors out. So it is a colorless diff.

Make sure your diff setting is on unified view not split view.

You have to scroll right to see them. They are in the "NEW" section.

Anyway Ill keep working on it, this space-man diff repo is pretty cool.

[holman]

Hah, that's cool! Would be nice to be able to pass a width or something into spaceman-diff to reduce the size when needed. But in general that's pretty sweet.

[MichaelDimmitt]

@holman, I agree! Right now I am restricting width of 2 with bash.
I could handle the width on my end with the external program.

But do you think it should be an internal feature of your app or handled as an external program.
I am fine with whichever decision.
