[Pytest-commit] Issue #324: -v output does not include diff that non-verbose output does for long dicts (hpk42/tox)

New issue 324: -v output does not include diff that non-verbose output does for long dicts
https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issues/324/v-output-does-not-include-diff-that-non

Brandon Maister:

given `ex.py`:


```
#!python
def test_long_assertion():
    long = 'a' * 50
    a = {i: long for i in range(8)}
    b = dict(**a)
    b[7] = 'short'
    assert a == b
```


invoking py.test gives a very helpful error message:

```
$ py.test ex.py

        b[7] = 'short'

```

However, running with `-v` breaks the diff:

```
$ py.test -v ex.py

`-vv` does include everything, but it's very verbose when I have dozens of items in my dicts.
