Notepad++ doesn't care and SourceInsight can take care, if you switch it 
on. VisualStudio can care with the plugin. But often whitespace will 
cause that more than only one line is marked as diff if you edit some 
lines before and after. You just set the cursor to the end and press 
enter to add some code right after. Now you have both lines marked as 
changed but you only added a line below.

That's why I use SourceInsight and not anything else. I use it even 
under Linux with wine. There is nothing that can reach this editor, no 
VisualStudio and no Eclipse. Especially if you have to work in code that 
is not written from you, it is perfect for reverse engineering.
No I don't get any promotion money from SourceInsight :)
