Git supports a builtin Rust diff driver [1] since v2.23.0 (2019).
It improves the choice of hunk headers in some cases, such as
diffs within methods, since those are indented in Rust within
an `impl` block, and therefore the default diff driver would
pick the outer `impl` block instead (rather than the method
where the changed code is).
For instance, with the default diff driver:

// Amount that we can copy. `saturating_sub` ensures we get 0 if `pos` goes past `end`.
let len_to_copy = core::cmp::min(pos_new, self.end).saturating_sub(self.pos);
+ test_diff_driver();
+
if len_to_copy > 0 {
// SAFETY: If `len_to_copy` is non-zero, then we know `pos` has not gone past `end`
// yet, so it is valid for write per the type invariants.
With the Rust diff driver:

Thus set the `rust` diff driver for `*.rs` source files.
The Rust repository also does so since 2020 [2].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
