"Complete phrases" and "jargon" are words I need for the commit
messages! Thank you :-)

Now, with a fresh eye, I see that we have text like this:

	Diff: old lines background

This looks more like an assemblement of words and jargon than a phrase
in natural language. Any suggestions for improvement? How about

	Background of old lines in diffs

Sounds a bit clumsy.

(In this case I prefer to say "diffs" rather than e.g. "patch text",
because we are looking at differences between versions, "diffs", and not
patches. Also, we already have "diff" in multiple other places in the UI.)
