      SourceTree is a great tool for managing git sandbox.
      A small enhancement that would simplify viewing diffs is the abillity to ignore whitespace. Frequently I enclose a section of code in a block (if, loop, or for HTML <div>). This causes a whole section of code to be indented. Your Internal Diff View shows many lines changed, although only the first and the last line in the section are the real changes. I already use an external diff tool to verify that only whitespace has changed, but this takes a little extra time when reviewing changes.

            I had not noticed the settings (gear) icon above the diff window.
            There is a Diff tab in the general settings page: Tools -> Options. The settings available in that drop-down should also be in the Tools -> Options -> Diff tab.
            Since I did not see a "whitespace" option in that tab I assumed it did not exist and therefore did not think to look for it elsewhere in the GUI.
