title: Possible to change git line break to period (for better sentence-based diffs)?
body: <p>Is it possible to change the line break used by git to something other than the default <code>\n</code> (e.g. a period <code>.</code> or period plus whitespace)?</p>
  
  <p>I am asking because this would make it easier to use git to manage text files such as documentation and markdown files. I have seen articles suggesting people to put each sentence in its own line just so that it is treated as one unit by git (rather than a part of a longer paragraph), which is awkward. Hence the question here.</p>
  
  <p>I did some internet search to no avail.</p>
