Good stuff. Parsing the patch to split out the changes to different files (once again, a lá GitHub) would also be a nice touch. See here:

Side note: I've some work done on a split view, which I find easier to read than unified view (especially when you've a large number of changed lines). Both of these ideas can wait - I think the tabs idea is a more immediate fix (i.e. for v3 of this series).
