Commit Diff or Combined Diff does not indicate if file was added, changed or deleted

[ADTC]

The combined diff view doesn't indicated whether the file was added, changed, deleted, moved, renamed etc. All files look the same especially when collapsed. It doesn't show the change ratio or +/- character count either. I hope we can bring in the basic features of GitHub diff into VS Code diff as a reference.

@hediet, is there anything that I could do in order to enable file decorations in the multi-file diff editor? Thanks!

For this, I noticed that renames are shown in Staged Changes with the R symbol.

So this could be expanded with more symbols:

• A for added files.
• D for deleted files.
• Either nothing or C for changed files. (Prefer nothing since changing files is most common operation in a Git repo's history.)
• P for permission changes. (Because changes to file permissions, e.g., making a file executable, can be tracked.)

Symbol colors would be nice: Green A, Yellow R, Red D, Blue P, neutral for changed file. Also a nice tinting of the entire row with the same color as the symbol, and a strike-through on the file name for deleted files.
