This is how I set it:
(setq vc-git-diff-switches (list "--word-diff"))
And I use vc-diff to generate the diff. Here is a sample of how it
looks:
diff --git a/time-acceptance.org b/time-acceptance.org
index 361a6ee..33fac7c 100644
--- a/time-acceptance.org
+++ b/time-acceptance.org

An ideal event selection would accept all events that are true signal
events, and reject the rest. Reality is different however. Since the
flight distance and [-decay time-]{+decay-time+} are directly

I would expect the [-text-] bits to be coloured red, and {+text+} bits
to be coloured green. That's what I get in the terminal with:
$ git diff --word-diff
Does that help? Is there support for this? If not, would it be a valid
feature request?
Thanks for any comments.
