I think that the very same people who never check what's in a tarball are very unlikely to start checking diffs.
Plus… a malware doesn't have to be obvious, so a superficial check might not reveal anything at all anyway. In any case, last time I bumped version to a package I diffed the sources to see if there was anything obviously strange. I did this without using git. -- Salvo Tomaselli "Io non mi sento obbligato a credere che lo stesso Dio che ci ha dotato di senso, ragione ed intelletto intendesse che noi ne facessimo a meno." -- Galileo Galilei https://ltworf.codeberg.page/
