[issue1488943] difflib.Differ() doesn't always add hints for tab characters

Please apply the patch ASAP.  This bug is affecting downstream product
viewvc in a very adverse way.  See
http://viewvc.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=436

It's sad that I spent several hours tracking down this bug only to find
out that henryl found it and provided a fix *3 and a half years ago*. 
Why is it taking so long to apply such a small yet important patch?
