Bug Description
It would be a nice feature, particularly when working with people who don't break lines at ~80 columns, to allow diffs to be displayed with line wrapping. The Python standard library's difflib.HtmlDiff has a nice wrapcolumn property which does this reasonably for a fixed column width, but it might be nice to have this dependent on the window size.
At present a file with very long lines will result in one huge scrolling line that can be near unreadable, especially when there is only a small (possibly one word) change in the line.

Thanks for the bug report David. I'll move this to the QBzr project because it's the qdiff dialog that your suggestion applies to.
