@matrss and @mih this might interest you 👆 I wonder how it plays with :gitannex: #gitAnnex, but I do have several different diffdrivers for annexed files (plaintext, jupyter notebooks, etc.) so it should work I guess?

@nobodyinperson Huh, that makes a lot of sense. But this only works for diff's, not for the file previews, right? If yes then this is mostly orthogonal to external renderers, those affect the file previews but not the diff's. This opens up some possibilities I haven't considered yet... Does this integrate in some way with Forgejo's image diff's? Probably not, since textconv is explicitly text-only. Can Forgejo do anything with external diff commands?

@nobodyinperson I have never really messed with diff drivers, yet. Could you share your git-annex related ones? Maybe some are generic enough to be integrated in Forgejo-aneksajo. The one for annexed plaintext certainly is, but that is probably just `cat` anyway, right?
