Description

Context: Right now, the plugin generates pretty diffs for every symbol. Repo maintainers are only interested in changes; there's no value in GIT generating pretty diffs for 500+ unchanged symbols.

Request: include a preference to only generate pretty diffs on changed symbols

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for the current diff generation logic in the plugin code and identify where all symbols are processed. Then implement a preference toggle to only generate pretty diffs for new/updated symbols.
