Ignoring bulk change commits with Git blame
I found great results using syntax highlighter token streams for diffs. In my PoC I was using Pygments. It's a great compromise for "almost semantic" diffs. Syntax highlighting tokenizers have great language support, are blazing fast (we use them constantly in real time in IDEs), and work far better in "degenerate" cases that don't entirely parse/compile yet such as work-in-progress code (again because we use them all the time in text editors).
