This feature request has come up several times (see for example
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727600) and shortcuts/UI
aside, it sounds like a nice idea.

However, each time it comes up the question is always: how do you
figure out where to insert the line in the other file? For insert
chunks this is fine, but what about modified or conflicted chunks?

cheers,
