Hmm, I've been thinking about adding fgetln. It's a really nice BSD
interface that's something like a more-efficient version of getline
(it can return a pointer into the buffer when possible) and the junk I
just added to make gnulib happy (which is slightly more powerful but
more of a pain for apps to use). I'm surprised glibc has it though; I
thought it was really BSD-only.

What about using the existing git repo if it's there, and if not,
running git init and and initial checkin then git diff? That seems
easier than scripting your own copy of the whole tree to make diffs,
but maybe it's too heavy-weight for your taste.
